Summary:

a-nat-o-my,  A study of the structure or internal workings of something.

Forty-seven percent of Agile products do not fully meet the business needs, and eleven percent of Agile projects fail.

Many believe they know how to write a user story, but they don’t. The mis-aligned user story results in stakeholder miscommunication, developer rework, and overall poor product quality.  Let Dagmar show you how to craft a successful, high-quality user story!

In this session, let’s learn:

  • The intention behind the Agile Manifesto Values (it does not mean “no” process or “no” documentation!).
  • The major cause for Agile project failure.
  • To recognize a business rule from a requirement, and how write each.
  • How user story components are related.
  • Review an aligned user story.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Writing high-quality user stories
  • Writing high-quality business rules
