Effective User Stories

(Registration Ended, Walk-ins are welcome) 

Register for Implementing Scrum in a Research Environment in Houston, United States  on Eventbrite
 User Stories are a popular Agile technique for discovering and eliciting requirements. But, just being “agile” does not necessarily guarantee effective high-quality user stories. Michael introduces the audience to the user story technique, what  constitutes a good user story, and how to identify those that need improvement. Guidelines, practices, and hints are discussed from the presenter’s experience to help the team member improve the quality of the project user stories. The seminar concludes with the 10 best practices for using user stories.
