The Agile Requirements Workshop is a great way to introduce all members of a project community – developers, QA, business analysts, product management, project managers, and managers - to the practice of writing requirements in the form of User Stories.
This workshop is highly interactive and hands-on, applying the theory and concepts as they are introduced. It goes into much more detail about the process of creating and managing User Stories, and how User Stories can be used with other forms of requirements.
Objectives
Students will come away from the course with concrete skills for creating User Stories, splitting requirements into actionable stories, and an overview of estimation practices.
