More and more organizations are transforming the way work is done and are embracing a culture of collaboration and favoring a change driven approach to software development.  It is important to understand the agile practices that are key to successfully deliver business value iteratively and incrementally.  

One of the most important aspects is the ability to write requirements that support incremental product development.  This workshop is for skill levels of business analysis practitioners.

At the end of the workshops you will:

• Understand what it means to take a change driven approach such as Agile to product development

• Become familiar with the language and terms of change driven approaches, such as Agile, and their underlying concepts
  
• • MVP
  • Personas
  • Problem statements
  • Potentially shippable products
  • Relative estimation
  • Story points

  • Acceptance criteria
  • And more...

• You will become familiar with and practice the tools and techniques for writing user stories

• You will become capable to decompose large stories to better align them with the Agile development framework

• Develop and take a pragmatic approach to transforming how you work

• You will learn Agile concepts and processes through concepts familiar to you

• You will receive tips and checklists to guide you when you return to work after the workshop and or when you start on a project using a change driven approach such as Agile
