Agile Stroy-Writing Workshop

1 Day

Lay a solid foundation of well-written User Stories for your agile projects!

The Agile software development methods are designed to make software development quicker, more responsive to the customer's needs, and resilient in the face of change. They are based on the unique philosophy that success in software projects is not dependent upon fully documented requirements and rigorous change control. They present a new way to think about software projects that results in projects that look quite different from traditional projects.
