agile estimating initiate INVEST phase planning requirements storiesThis course dives deep into the initiation phase of the Agile process and gives participants a thorough understanding and hands-on experience of the steps and techniques involved.
The Initiation phase relies on the successful identification and prioritisation of User Stories. User Stories are the core of Agile requirements, capturing features of an application in small (1-3 day) testable chunks that deliver business value. Not all stories will require developing software, but many of them will, so stories are also the interface between the business, the developers and the test analysts.
This course takes you through the process and the deliverables involved in the initiation phase of an Agile project. You will take a case study through each of the Initiation steps - solution refinement, story identification, story prioritisation, story estimation and release planning - looking at the deliverables from each step and the techniques used to produce them.

This course is part of the Agile Academy curriculum.Software Education is proud to be a founding partner of the Agile Academy.
