An agile project starts with defining the requirements, and this is done through Agile User Stories. User stories articulate the functionality that is required by the user, and are expressed in writing, in simple and lucid terms. Once the requirements are clearly defined using this format, the rest of the project methodology can be systematically put in place.

Description
Agile User Stories
An agile project starts with dening the requirements, and this is done through Agile
User Stories. User stories articulate the functionality that is required by the user, and
are expressed in writing, in simple and lucid terms. Once the requirements are
clearly dened using this format, the rest of the project methodology can be
systematically put in place.
User story workshops are held near the beginning of the project, with all team
members participating and creating a product backlog that captures all the user
perspectives and lays out all the functionality to be added till project completion. At
each stage, user stories will absorb the changes that have been necessitated
during the evolution of the project.
Our one day course in Agile User Stories Training will teach you the basics of this
technique for expressing requirements as user stories, and will give you tips and
guidelines for writing an eective user story. You will learn the basic components
that stories must comprise of, and get tools that will help you to be clear and
concise in your expression. Through an interactive user role modelling session and
many examples from real life experience, participants can understand how to
narrow down requirements and write better user stories
