Live Webinar – Note the new date March 26th, 2011 March 21st, 2011 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm EDT
Duration: 1 Hour Credits: 1 PDU CategoryB – Free PDU
Note: NetObjectives is an REP ( 3045) but this opportunity is a Category B PDU.

This webinar addresses the difficulty in breaking down stories to the right size while keeping the business value in mind.

The solution is to focus on the business rules that are manifested in the product. The result is stories that are smaller, can be defined independently, and are less coupled.

This results in:

• A smaller number of tests to be able to completely test the system
• Less risk that a change in one business rule will affect other business rules in an unexpected way

Net objectives also features Allan Shalloway’s newest book Essential Skills for the Agile Developer: A Guide to Better Programming and Design which is “truly essential”s for developers capturing business rules in stories.

Presenter: Alan Shalloway (Linkedin Profile & @alshalloway) is the founder and CEO of Net Objectives. With 40 years experience, Alan is a thought leader in Lean, Kanban, PPM, Scrum and agile design. He helps companies transition to Lean and Agile methods enterprise-wide. Alan is a popular speaker at prestigious conferences worldwide and author of Design Patterns Explained: A New Perspective on Object-Oriented Design, Lean-Agile Pocket Guide for Scrum Teams, Lean-Agile Software Development: Achieving Enterprise Agility, and Essential Skills for the Agile Developer: A Guide to Better Programming and Design. Alan is a co-founder and board member for the Lean Software and Systems Consortium.
