About the Workshop

This workshop provides a hands-on experience writing user stories.
User stories are used often on agile projects instead of traditional
requirements documentation. Learn what makes a story well written.
Discover what an epic or spike story is. See how stories can also be
directly converted into automated tests that validate system behavior
using tools such as Cucumber on a Ruby or Ruby on Rails project.

Participants will learn about the 3-Cs (card, conversation,
confirmation) and how to apply INVEST to evaluate stories. Working as
a group, individuals will create their own user stories in class based
off a mock project.
