"As a developer, I want to be able to log time spent on projects. So that the company could analyse [sic] time spent on different projects."

This user story is utterly absurd.

In this case, the "user" is actually the company, not the developer. The developer usually wants to provide business value by adding new features, or fixing bugs. And this is a feature, but it's not a feature for the developer. It's a feature for the company.

The fact that it got broken down into manual data entry features like:

"Users (read developers) select a project and enter hours spent for each day"

Makes me question whether the users were involved in making the stories at all.

This article feels like an illustration of what is wrong with Big-A Agile, not an exemplar of how to do it right.
