Activity Type: Education – Online or Digital Media 1 PDU – Free
Provider:  Modern Analyst

Many Agile business analysts are hesitant to employ certain requirements elicitation and development techniques such as user stories and use case studies because they are traditionally considered aspects of the Waterfall or traditional method of Project Management.

The overwhelming responsibility of the business analyst, no matter what method is being used, is to help stakeholders identify their needs and translate them into requirements.

Both use cases and user stories should be leveraged to determine the most appropriate business solution to bring value to the customer.

This webinar addresses the questions of how use cases and user stories can work in an Agile environment. The webinar also offers helpful insight into the steps to take when using them

Learn:

  • Requirements visioning-the key to using use cases in Agile
  • Why and when to utilize use cases in Agile

Webinar attendees will learn about when to use ‘use cases’ and when to use ‘user stories’, within requirements gathering, to gain maximum value from both. This webinar offers tips and techniques that can be used today to gather stronger requirements.

Presenters: Peter Schmidt (LinkedIn profile), PMP, ACP, CPL  spearheads specialized solution development and services delivery for ESI, participates in the development and deployment of ESI’s new Agile curriculum, and works to strategically identify and promote ESI’s client successes in operational performance improvement.

Implementing a continuous delivery (CD) pipeline is not trivial, and the introduction of container technology to the development stack can introduce additional challenges and requirements.

In this webcast Daniel Bryant will look at the steps that are essential for creating an effective pipeline for creating and deploying containerized applications.

Topic covered include:

  • The impact of containers on CD
  • Creating a container pipeline (including functional and nonfunctional testing)
  • Lessons learned the hard way

A supporting O’Reilly report “Containerizing Continuous Delivery in Java” is also available, and this contains instructions and code for how to create a Jenkins-based continuous delivery pipeline that takes a series of Java applications and containerizes them, ready for functional and nonfunctional testing, and ultimately, deployment.

Presenter: Daniel Bryant, (LinkedIn profile) Chief Scientist, OpenCredo and CTO at SpectoLabs;  currently specialises in enabling agility within organisations by  facilitating continuous delivery. Daniel’s current technical expertise focuses on ‘DevOps’ tooling, cloud/container platforms, and microservice implementations. Daniel also contributes to several open source projects, writes for InfoQ, O’Reilly, and Voxxed, and regularly presents at international conferences such as QCon, Devoxx and JavaOne.
