Overview

Did you realize how difficult is to visualize the product as a whole when working with a typical Flat Product Backlog?

A solution is User Story Mapping. A user story map is a simple idea for Agile teams, is about arranging user stories into a helpful shape. User Story mapping is used by top companies of any industry to visualize goals with activities and agree fast on how to achieve them with minimum versions of the product.

This workshop will guide you step by step with a realistic example that you can also follow with your own project.

If you have no knowledge about User stories, don't worry, we will start by writing user stories, applying formats for acceptance criteria, understanding the different sizes of user stories, and splitting the stories to the right size using proven techniques and approaches. You will see many examples of how to apply these techniques.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
