Show that to a people unfamiliar with the Scrum church and it will say that sentence is meaningless. And well, it is, in an absolute way. A story is just that: a story. Maybe it can help to put your son to sleep, but I doubt you need to invent a brand new vocabulary to discuss about software architecture and technical debt, and I doubt you can do anything brillant by only using a few examples in a field that is even more driven by pure logic than maths.
We are grown up. I don't want to work anywhere where I'm told stories and must get some points done by the end of the week. And this is not anecdotal: Scrum is a derivative of a manufacturing framework. I'm doing engineering.
