The July Agile KC meeting will be held on the third Thursday (not the fourth as we typically do.)  This will be a joint meeting with the Kansas City IIBA chapter.  To register for the meeting please visit the IIBA website at:


 

Meeting Topic:   Story Mapping - a Hands on Approach

Meeting Learning:  

Story mapping is an extremely useful tool for defining and reviewing a project feature set.  It also helps provide a visual basis for prioritization and managing the work.  We'll review the process for creating a story map and then conduct an exercise in creating one.

Meeting Description: 

A constant challenge of both novice and experienced agile teams is managing the user story backlog to make sure it represents both the breadth and depth needed to deliver the desired solution to the end user.   Story mapping is a practice that can help teams work through this challenge.  Even better is that it is applicable in both new and ongoing development. 

This month we'll be joining the local Kansas City International Institute of Business Analysis chapter at their regularly scheduled meeting to discuss user stories and story mappings.  Martin Olson will present an overview of user stories and story mapping to the group and then lead an exercise in creating a story map. 

This will be a great opportunity for those that are not familiar working with user stories to join us and get a hands on understanding of how to define a work flow via user stories and story mapping.  It will also be an opportunity for those with experience in working with stories to join in the fun and share their knowledge.

About the Speaker: 

Martin Olson is an agile\lean coach and trainer with over twenty years experience working in the software development industry.  He has been helping teams ranging from start ups to the enterprise in their agile and lean transformations for over eleven years.  Martin can be reached at [email protected].
