Write Meaningful User Stories That Everyone Understands

About Course

Learn the skills needed to write highly effective and intelligent User Stories, Epics & Themes.

Most organizations that have adopted Agile frameworks are oblivious to the fact that very few people in those organizations know how to actually write sound User Stories. Since User Stories are conversational in their verbiage, it is very hard for the un-initiated to know whether a given User Story is correct and if not, what might be missing in that User Story. Most of the time what gets passed as a User Story is simply a task or a set of tasks OR maybe an end-user’s goal but without potential benefit OR a research activity, etc. There are several ways a User Story gets mis-used and totally wasted. This course will teach you to see through all this rut that exists w.r.t User Stories. Not only that, this course will teach you to quickly conceptualize and actually write User Stories.

What Will You Learn
