Course Summary
The User Stories Hack-a-thon training course explores creating user stories as a means of tracking project requirements. Far different from creating large documents to capture all requirements up front, moving to creating user stories may seem overwhelming and intimidating.
In this course, students will learn how to create user stories, decompose user stories, groom the product backlog, and estimate using relative sizing.
This course is about 50% lecture and 50% discussion/hands-on exercises. Experience working on Agile teams or prior Agile training is recommended prior to attending this course.
- Productivity Objectives:
- Identify what the inputs are for user stories.
- Discover how to properly document user stories.
- Choose how to decompose and aggregate stories as needed.
- Describe grooming the product backlog.
- Explain relative sizing as a method for estimating.
