Requirements for Hybrid Agile Teams

Models, Packaging Strategies, Prioritization, & Deeper Dive into User Stories

Learn the tools and methods that enable you to work requirements into the incremental development approaches of your hybrid agile environment. Learn when to use a working space and when to place the requirements into a long-term repository, keeping change management costs to a minimum.

Software Requirements Hybrid Agile Learning Program

Great hybrid agile teams master these skills

You’ll learn them all in Models, Packaging Strategies, Prioritization, and Deeper Dive into User Stories and why they’re important. In our other Learning Programs, you can learn the core skills hybrid agile teams need to create requirements and learn techniques for uncovering real and accurate (that is, excellent) requirements.

Break apart stories

To start high-level design, help determine what’s coming in future sprints, and size the stories so the team can complete the work on an individual story in one sprint.

Map a user story

To enable the entire team (and stakeholders, if desired) to participate in the breaking apart of stories, idea generation, and prioritization of work.

Model the requirements

To increase precision and enhance communication among the team and the wider hybrid agile environment.

Create working artifacts

To separate working artifacts from repositories and free the agile team to experiment and learn prior to making a commitment.

Create packaging strategies

To package requirements for external consumption, which can have a large impact on your workflow.

Use a prioritization scheme

To ensure real value is delivered as quickly as possible and to help coordinate across the hybrid agile environment.
