Write Better Agile User Stories Masterclass - Scrum & Kanban

You're here because you want to take your user story writing to the next level, develop your business further or ship better products with actual customer value? Or maybe you want to understand what all these people  talk about when they use the term "user stories"?

This training will make user story writing a fun and collaborative activity again for you and your team. Your Scrum Team will be able to to maximise value and better manage the Product Backlog. If you are only starting out, then I will help you to start out right and take your knowledge to 88mph (in case you wonder what this guy means with 88mph - I am a die-hard Back To The Future fan and most of the time can't resist to at least give one reference to my favorite movie trilogy of all time)

Who Am I?

Hi, my name is Christopher and I am an Agile Coach. I used to work as a Product Owner, got lost in documents, was making loads of mistakes and wrong decisions. Then something changed. I transformed the way I look at user stories, adapted lean thinking and went on to build international eCommerce stores taking them from zero to six-figure revenue per month.

I have been working full-time as an Agile Coach for the last few years and just love to empower individuals and teams to think agile and build customer-oriented solutions.

Transform the way you write user stories now and - Last Back To The Future reference I swear - let this course be your flux capacitor to start writing your future.
