Online Webinar – Recorded May 16, 2013
Offered by ASPE (REP 2161) 1 Category A PDU – Free PDU
CourseID: WS07211

When a software development professional first hears about Agile, they are often initially incredulous that this type of approach can work due to a misperception that Agile simply means “no planning.”

This belief could not be further from the truth.

Agile teams tend to plan more throughout the course of a project than a traditional approach, albeit in a different fashion than they may be accustomed to. Rather than planning once at the beginning of a project, Agile teams practice continuous planning throughout the project.

This web seminar will explore the five Levels of Agile planning, and how they help teams ensure that teams are able to benefit from what they learn over the course of their development and delivery efforts.

Presenter:  Bill Gaiennie (LinkedIn profile) has more than 16 years of working in the software development field as a developer, project manager, ScrumMaster, and a training coach. Bill is an accomplished, experienced Agile trainer,with 5 years of Agile experience effectively leading product and project teams in a wide array of Agile management and methodology based initiatives. He is currently an accredited member of the Project Management Institute (PMI) and is active in the Agile Alliance and Scrum Alliance communities.

Recorded Presentation – June 6th 2012
Presented at the Norwegian Developers Conference
Duration 1 hour 1 PDU or 1 CDU 1 Category A Free
Presented by: Mountain Goat Software (REP # 3102 EUS-Intro)

The technique of expressing requirements as user stories is one of the most broadly applicable techniques introduced by the agile processes. User stories are an effective approach on all time-constrained projects, and are a great way to begin introducing a bit of agility to your projects.

In this session, Mike describes how to identify and write good user stories.

This presentation describes:

  • The six attributes that good stories should exhibit
  • Presents 13 guidelines for writing better stories And …
  • Explores how user “role modeling” can help when gathering a project’s initial stories.

Because requirements touch all job functions on a development project, this tutorial will be equally suited for analysts, customers, testers, programmers, managers or anyone involved in a software development project.

By the end of this tutorial, you will leave knowing the six attributes of a good story, learn a good format for writing most user stories, learn practical techniques for gathering user stories, know how much work to do up-front and how much to do just-in-time.

Presenter:  Mike Cohn (LinkedIn profile) is the founder of Mountain Goat Software, where he teaches and coaches on Scrum and agile development. He is the author of Succeeding with Agile: Software Development Using Scrum, also Agile Estimating and Planning, and User Stories Applied: For Agile Software Development  and contributor to numerous other books and publications.
