The key focus on any software development project needs to have a sharp focus on the user. In Agile, user stories are a common method for capturing and organizing user needs as a way to define a project's needs. In this course, you'll learn about user stories and the Agile iteration and release plan. You'll begin by discovering the purpose of user stories and the user story framework. Then you'll explore the role played by acceptance criteria in the user story, the INVEST method, epic stories, thin-slicing stories, and how user stories are coordinated and facilitated. Finally, discover how Agile supports better estimations for precision and accuracy, examples of story points, DEEP backlogs, user story prioritization, dependencies, timeboxes, and iteration and release plans. This course was originally created by Global Knowledge (GK).
