Is Your Agile transformation Succeeding?
How Would You Know?

Many teams keep going with Agile practices without getting any major benefits like making more money, quicker speed to market, greater adaptability and continuous learning.

In this webinar, you will learn how to measure and assess your agility using 7 metrics/KPAs, and take the steps forward to take your team’s agility to the next level.

• 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.

Backlog grooming is typically a product owner rule that requires skill in prioritizing requirements and breaking down requirements with the help of the customer and development team.

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.
