Overview


Writing useful and valuable user stories successfully is a core skill for business analysis practitioners in Agile environments.

  • To do this you need to know the difference between an Epic and a Story, and how to get from one-to-the-other, which is called “Story Decomposition”.
  • In this introductory session we will discuss the why, the what, and some of the how, of these topics.
  • This will include defining what they are, examples of good/best practice, as well as common and hidden pitfalls to avoid!
