Next, you'll learn what user stories are, how they can show business value at different levels of abstraction, and how to know if a user story is good. You'll study how to deal with nonfunctional requirements and work to gain knowledge on a Scrum project, including ways to get user stories. After that, we'll explore the characteristics of a good product backlog and how good backlog grooming helps to improve these characteristics. Finally, you'll learn about estimation and velocity, including their role in Agile planning. This course is designed for business owners and project managers interested in learning more about the Agile Scrum methodology and how to implement it as a management process. Companies of all sizes use Agile Scrum methodology for its ability to provide high-end collaboration, efficiency for project-based work and even boost revenue. So why wait? Enrol today!
