One of the dilemmas most Agile teams face is how to generate an initial backlog.

The best way to do this is by assembling a cross-functional team and using facilitated storytelling to generate a set of scenarios, which are then decomposed into features, epics, and user stories using standard grooming techniques.

This process not only provides the team with the information needed to create user stories, but also provides context for what is being built.

Join Tony and Tom to learn how this process works, how it can implemented in your organization, and to what benefit!
