Topic: Requirements Capture with User Stories in an Agile Environment
This will be a joint meeting between the AgileKC group and the Kansas
City Section of the International Institute for Business Analysis
(IIBA). Dinner will be provided.
N.B. This is a week earlier than our usually scheduled meeting and is
expected to be heavily attended. Please RSVP to mols...@gmail.com if
you plan on attending.
Over the last ten years agile software development practices have gone
from ‘under the radar’ practices used in small independent projects to
enterprise wide initiatives used in many of the Fortune 500
Companies. Agile development is a proven and established methodology
for organizing teams and delivering software. Yet it is still often
misinterpreted and even worse the root cause of misguided attempts at
process improvement by not fully understanding what agile is and what
it is not.
At this joint meeting we’ll try to alleviate some of this confusion.
We’ll discuss the history and basics of the agile process in general,
go over some common agile terms so we all have a consistent
understanding and then delve into the agile concept of a User Story.
The User Story supports many specific agile practices and is a great
stepping off point on an organizations journey to understanding and
implementing an Agile Process.
We hope to see you there!

coach located in the Kansas City Metropolitan area with clients
throughout the United States. He has been involved in software
development for over the twenty years and working with agile practices
for over the last ten. In the past Silicon Prairie Solutions has
helped firms from ten to one thousand understand and implement agile
software development processes, though Martin will be the first to
admit that the successes of these firms belong to the teams that did
the work. He was just a guide.
