areas of their company.
In this presentation, we will focus on the core elements of
agile as a way of working. We will look at the values and principles that lay
the foundation for the many ways agile is practiced. The following key elements
of agile will be covered:
• Agile values and principles

in other areas
• The self-organized team
• Planning the agile way
• Iterative work and retrospectives
• Team organization and team motivators
• The need for T-Shaped professionals
• Snapshot of what is going on in your
Project Management and IT Software teams

User Stories: What's
the Point and Why do we Use Them? with Ryland Leyton, CBAP
Presented by Ryland Leyton, CBAP, Agile Coach, Speaker,
Author
User stories are a core technique for most agile frameworks.
Why is that? Why are they valuable, and are there any alternatives?
In this session we'll discuss:
• Why user stories are such a universal
practice, the limitations they impose.
• The good, the bad, and the ugly of
using user stories.
• We'll talk about alternatives (such as Job stories and
Hypothesis stories) and where they fit into good practice.
• We'll talk about some of the common mistakes in agile
practice when using stories. (Hint: not everything is a user story, and not
everything should be!)
As with all the talks, this session will allow lots of time
for Q&A so we can focus on what's important to you!
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
• Understand why user stories are a
common technique in agile frameworks and why.
• Understand best & worst practices
around user stories.
• Understand alternatives to user
stories.
