Description:
  

When a user story is too big, it is harder to understand, estimate, and implement successfully. Some teams break the ‘business story’ into ‘technical stories’ but this doesn’t solve the problem because most or all of the technical stories need to be completed before there is anything meaningful for the stakeholders.

This experiential session will give you hands-on experience with 4 simple, yet powerful techniques to break big stories into smaller stories that are meaningful to stakeholders and deliver business value. Participants write and split stories in small groups throughout this session. In his years of agile coaching, Chris has never found a story that could not be split using at least one of these techniques.

 

Takeaways:

 

After completing this activity, participants will be able to split large stories into smaller, more specific stories using:

  • Conjunctions and connector words
  • Generic terms
  • Acceptance criteria
  • Timeline analysis
