Special Training Event - B2T Training Agile Requirements and Fundamentals
An increasing number of organizations have found agile software development approaches help them develop products or systems much more effectively than in the past. The values, principles, and techniques of agile approaches certainly help teams build things right. However, projects will still fail if team members such as Product Owners and Business Analysts don’t properly understand and communicate requirements to ensure that the right solution is being delivered. The approach to analysis and documentation may differ, but the need to use excellent requirements to define the right solution remains essential to the agile approach.
This course is designed to introduce students to the agile values, principles, and techniques and takes an in-depth look into the skills necessary to ensure that the team is identifying and delivering the right thing. Whether you’re an existing agile team or new to an agile approach, everyone involved with an agile project needs to understand the needs they are trying to satisfy and the approach they are using to satisfy those needs.
Students will gain knowledge and skills by practicing techniques and soft skills needed to operate effectively in an agile environment.
