Effective User Stories for Agile Requirements
Thursday, June 27
Register online below or call 610-648-3274.
All projects start with a set of requirements. How you describe, document and express these requirements has a tremendous influence on the rest of the project’s success. User Stories allow the team to have a clearer understanding of the real needs of the “real users.” User Stories can be an effective approach to beginning all time-constrained Agile and Scrum Projects.
Course Description
This one-day course is designed to provide the knowledge and tools needed to identify and write effective and accurate user stories. Students are introduced to the six attributes all user stories must exhibit, as well as the five additional guidelines for taking user stories from good to better. During this hands-on course, students put theory into action when identifying user roles and writing user stories for multiple case studies. The course will also explore the use of user role modeling to write the tricky initial user stories for a project.
Who Should Attend
This User Story course is equally suited for programmers, testers, analysts and product owners who are interested in applying these agile story techniques to their projects, in addition to customers, end users and managers. It is appropriate for companies, who are currently in, or migrating to, an Agile or Scrum environment.
