Effective User Stories for Agile Requirements
All projects start out to fulfill a set of requirements but the manner in which those requirements are documented or expressed has a tremendous impact on the project’s success and cost. The technique of ‘user-stories’ originated with agile processes, but is effective for all projects, agile or not.
This class provides the knowledge and tools needed to identify and write effective and accurate user stories. Participants will learn the six attributes all user stories must exhibit as well as the five additional guidelines for taking user stories from good to better. The class will also explore the use of user role modelling to write the tricky initial user stories for a project. During this hands-on course, participants put theory into action when identifying user roles and writing user stories for multiple case studies.
