DESCRIPTION: . \n\n Presenting \n\n John Ferguson Smart \n\n in association
  with TechMeetup.Space \n\n The Fast Track from User Stories to High-Value
  Software \n\n For Product Owners\, Project Leads\, Business Analysts\, Te
 st Managers\, and any team wanting to deliver software that truly delights
  the customer ..... sooner! \n\n Participate in this intense half-day work

 n practices that can be used during sprint planning to build shared unders
 tanding! \n\n Doors 13:15 for a light lunch - Workshop 14:00 Sharp \n\n Li
 mited to 12 Attendees to Maximise One-on-One Group Training \n\n . \n\n Th
 e best software is delivered by engaged and creative teams with a deep und
 erstanding of business needs. But this doesn’t happen by accident! All A
 gile teams work together to understand what needs to be done for each stor
 y. But somehow\, despite all our best intentions\, requirements can still 
 get misunderstood or mislaid\, bugs slip into the code\, and users are lef
 t less than impressed. We can do better! \n\n The good news is that there 
 is a number of simple easy-to-learn practices that can put you on the righ
 t track! \n\n Limited to just twelve people\, the small workshop means att
 endees are assured in getting the highest attention from John. You will le
 arn how high-performing dynamic teams use pre-planning and sprint planning
  to build clear understanding\, along with practical and pragmatic techniq
 ues drawn from the world of Behaviour Driven Development (BDD)\, that will
  have your team defining great acceptance criteria and delivering great fe
 atures in record time! \n\n You will learn: \n\n How to use Example Mappin
 g and Feature Mapping to give teams a deep understanding of business needs
  in record time\n\nWhere requirements discovery workshops fit into the Agi
 le and BDD workflow\n\nHow team dynamics\, rules and ceremonies affect ind
 ividual and group creativity\, and how to structure your team activities t
 o maximise creativity\, innovation and shared understanding\n\nHow to appl
 y simple and pragmatic techniques to build a thorough\, critical\, and sha
 red understanding of each story\;\n\nHow to significantly reduce the risks
  of inconsistent\, misunderstood or forgotten requirements\;\n\nHow to get
  through sprint planning sessions faster\;\n\nHow to lay the groundwork fo
 r smoother and quicker automated acceptance testing\;\n\nAnd how to delive
 r software that will delight the customer and bring value to the business!
 \n \n\n Topics Covered \n\n The workshop is deeply practical\, more coachi
 ng than traditional training\, with an emphasis on real-world applications
 . Where possible\, examples and exercises will be drawn from actual client
  projects. \n\n The key topics covered will include: \n\n Design Thinking 
 and breadth-first requirements discovery\;\n\nBroad brush and thin brush 
 – when to apply different requirements discovery practices\;\n\nRunning 
 Effective Requirements Discovery workshops\, including Example Mapping and
  Feature Mapping\;\n\nIdentifying key scenarios and business rules quickly
  and efficiently\;\n\nWriting Acceptance Criteria that serve the whole tea
 m\;\n\nA roadmap for full BDD adoption.\n \n\n Why your team needs this wo
 rkshop \n\n This workshop is about helping your team deliver valuable soft
 ware sooner\, by building a deep understanding of the stories they are imp
 lementing and the business goals they need to accomplish. \n\n If you are 
 not practicing Behaviour Driven Development (or have never heard of BDD!)\
 , this workshop is an excellent and cost-effective way to get started. And
  if you are already practicing BDD\, this workshop will hone and accelerat
 e your requirements discovery activities with techniques like Example Mapp
 ing and Feature Mapping. \n\n You can learn more about some of the ideas u
 nderlying this workshop in John's article Broad brushes and narrow brushes
 : there’s more to BDD than Given/When/Then \n\n REGISTRATION EXTRAS \n\n
