Oslo XP og Agile Meetup October Meetup

Mike Cohn talks about Effective User Stories for Agile Requirements

User stories has been a subject that has gathered much interest in the Oslo agile community lately. Our community discussion in September was well attended and the discussion was very interesting.

Now is you chance to hear more about user stories from an expert on the subject. Mike Cohn is the author of several books on agile management techniques, including my favorite "User Stories Applied" and the recent "Agile Estimation and Planning".

The subject of this talk is Effective User Stories for Agile Requirements:

The technique of expressing requirements as user stories is one of the most broadly applicable techniques introduced by the agile processes. User stories are an effective approach on all time constrained projects and are a great way to begin introducing a bit of agility to your projects. In this session, we will look at how to identify and write good user stories. The class will describe the six attributes that good stories should exhibit and present thirteen guidelines for writing better stories. We will explore how user role modeling can help when gathering a project's initial stories.

Learn how to work better with requirements and get a chance to meet the growing community of agile practitioners in Oslo.

XP meetup would also like to thank Programutvikling who invited Mike Cohn to Oslo to give the course Agile Estimation and Planning.
