A 2-hour, online, hands-on workshop on slicing user stories for fast delivery and rapid feedback.

Are your teams struggling to deliver user stories within your Sprint? Once delivered, do your user stories add the value you hoped they would?

In this hands-on virtual workshop, you'll discover and learn:

Why story writing and slicing as usually practiced often fails to deliver value. Too often, the structure of an organization inhibits discovering the value in user stories because information is divided across different departments/specialists. The techniques you will learn in this workshop help you reduce barriers between teams and return the customer to the center of the discussion.

Ways to slice stories that enable continuous steering and delivery of product value. Many projects/products fail to meet the desired outcomes after months of effort. What if there was a way to slice user stories so they can be delivered to today and used tomorrow? In this workshop, we'll show you how to do that.

Practical techniques that shift away from technical divisions of work and into collaborative ways of working. Stories are typically sliced according to technical discipline where the outcome can only be "we got the work done." In this workshop you will learn how to collaboratively work across specialties and teams to slice stories into units of deliverable value.

Is This Workshop For You?

Product Managers/Owners seeking to maximize customer value for each user story delivered.

Development Team Members who want to see their work put to use.

Agile Practitioners who want things to move faster and see value in their work.

Perfect for anyone seeking to move beyond checkbox exercises and instead learn to deliver today what can be used tomorrow.

Join us to transform how your team thinks about and delivers work.
