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.
