Question

Northern Trail Outfitters is Updating Its customer portal built on Experience Cloud. The team has drafted a user story:

Explanation

The user story combines several distinct capabilities into one: chatting with support, viewing account details, viewing orders, and asking questions. This violates the INVEST principle for good user stories - specifically the 'I' for Independent and 'S' for Small. Each capability should be a separate, independently deliverable story. Option C (adjust the goal to be independent) is correct because it addresses the compound nature of the story by splitting it into focused, discrete stories. Option A (estimating time) is a team activity, not a BA story improvement task. Option B (including Salesforce-specific solutions) is premature and inappropriate for a user story, which should capture the 'what' from the user's perspective, not the 'how' from a technical perspective.
