Description
Increase the success of your agile project with high-quality User Stories, which describe the wishes of the users in a simple and experience-oriented way.
Many companies today take an agile approach to project execution. Besides the project organization according to the agile framework, a major challenge is the definition and documentation of requirements. In the past, this was created in the form of a classic requirements documentation, but in agile projects however, User Stories are utilized.
A User Story is a short and simple requirement description, which usually consists of only one or two sentences.These sentences alone could not replace a complete requirements documentation, but if written correctly and processed correctly in the project team, it will unfold an enormous value.
In this course you will learn how to write such User Stories in high quality, how to work on further requirements in the team, how to define acceptance criteria and much more.
