Developing Agile (Scrum) User Stories

Course Description

This 2 day course will provide participants with the knowledge and skills required to develop effective user stories, acceptance tests and map their current requirements process to the agile approach.

User stories are the most common means of representing requirements for agile scrum projects and are written from the perspective of the system user or purchaser.  Acceptance tests are written to clarify and verify the behaviour of user stories.

This course is for those who have a fundamental understanding and experience with agile / iterative development and the scrum approach. Our Agile Boot Camp is a perfect pre-requisite if needed.
