Meeting Topic:
Using Personas for creating User Stories

Meeting Learning
Personas provide Agile teams a tool for discovering and defining User Stories.  In this session we’ll conduct and exercise to refine some personas and derive User Stories from them.  The goal is to help provide attendees a better understanding of what personas are and how they might be useful in their day to day work. 

Meeting Description
This will be a joint Agile KC and IIBA meeting.  In the past these events have been well attended so make sure you register if you’re planning on attending. 

As anyone that has worked with User Stories can tell you, writing and refining good User Stories is a skill that is developed over time.  Each project is unique and each team has different nuances that make them dynamic.  Complicating things even more is often the need to leverage a proxy for the voice of the business or customer.   One way of helping the team in these situations is the user of Persona’s.  

Join Martin Olson of Silicon Prairie Solutions on July 17 and we’ll discuss what a persona is, what makes a good persona and how teams can use them to define valuable features.
