title: Writing user stories for internal technical tasks
body: <p>I am attempting to manage my projects a little better so I am looking at attempting to apply some of (eventually all) the features of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrum_%28development%29" rel="noreferrer">scrum</a>.</p>
  
  <p>Looking at <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_story" rel="noreferrer">user stories</a> specifically the high level format seems to be:</p>
  
  <p>As a <strong>User</strong> I can <strong>Feature Description</strong> </p>
  
  <p>or </p>
  
  <p><strong>Artifact</strong> is <strong>Doing Something</strong></p>
  
  <p>How would I write "Upgrade the Database"?</p>
  
  <p>Is it simply Upgrade the Database?</p>
  
  <p>I think I am being thrown off as there is no specific actor/customer and that the customer is the IT department.</p>
