Key benefits

A big benefit of this technique is discovering bad ideas earlier, and throwing away or refining stories that would just introduce unnecessary complexity into software.

The second major benefit is opening up a discussion on the perceived need and target user segment, which helps to nail down these aspects of a story before a team jumps into defining a solution.

How to make it work

The big risk with this idea is that the discussion degenerates into personal arguments. Playing the devil’s advocate is not about being negative, it’s about trying to shake things up intentionally to see if a story is solid or not. Two good ways of preventing personal arguments are:

Choose one person to play the role to start with, then rotate the role story by story to avoid a single target for negative reactions.

Get the whole group to come up with ideas about why a story might be false, and take turns to present them.
