Why would I attend this course?
If you are part of an agile team a prioritised product backlog sits at the heart of your development effort. This backlog generally consists of user stories. Users of a system describe the functionality they would like the system to have using stories and ideally they are short, simple statements of intent. Having good user stories is imperative to an easy, smooth flow in an agile process and although they are simple, they are not easy to write.
This course is aimed at developing the skills to write good user stories, as well organise and manage stories.
