• Have you or your Agile teams had trouble refining requirements on an Agile project?
• Are your teams struggling with user stories and tasks that are too large for them to handle well?

If so, you and your teams need more guidance to implement backlog / user story grooming.

Backlog grooming is a step-by-step process of taking high-level (“coarse-grained”) requirements and refining them to lower-level user stories and tasks (“fine-level”) that are ready to put into a sprint.

In RefineM’s Backlog/Story Grooming presentation, attendees will learn how to work the process to achieve fine-grained requirements that are ready just in time.

The key to success is leveraging tools and techniques as well as the expertise of your team to refine requirements iteratively.

Presenter: NK Shrivastava (LinkedIn profile) PMP, PMI-RMP, PMI-ACP, CSM, SPC, is CEO of RefineM LLC and an experienced and certified Project Management Consultant, Risk Management Professional, and Agile Coach with over 25 years of experience in project management. NK is an experienced instructor/trainer on project management and Agile topics and specializes in project management fundamentals, risk management, and project recovery.

One of the most difficult, yet important, questions regarding projects is “What advantages will this project create for the investors and key stakeholders?”

Projects and programs should be treated as investments. This means that the focus of projects shifts from delivering within the triple constraints (time–cost–quality) towards some of the more fundamental questions:

• What is the purpose of this investment?
• What are the specific advantages expected?
• Are these benefits worth the investment?

In this presentation Kenn Dolan (LinkedIn profile) will provide an overview of a model for executives and practitioners within the portfolio, program, and project environment.  It will guide them through the important work that must be addressed as the investment progresses towards the realization of benefits.

The model will cover processes addressing the strategic elements of benefits realization which will bring the program delivery teams and the operational users together with a new perspective.

Covering an area of program and project management that is rapidly becoming more widely valued, this presentation blends theory with practical experience to present a clear process flow to managing the benefits life cycle.

Learning Outcomes:

• Definition of Benefits
• Categories of Benefits
• Overview of a model for realizing benefits
• Some traps and pitfalls to avoid
