The Agile BABOK - Requirements Analysis and Design Definition
v Understanding “the why” can be as important as “the what”
As
an
speaker,
I
want
to

make
my
presentation

available
to
attendees

online,
so
that
I
do
not
need

to
send
it.

As
an
attendee,
I
want
to

download
the

presentation,
so
that
I
share
what
I
have

learned.
