Short description: Learn speedy affinity facilitation techniques to eliminate waste and boost productivity in creating, prioritizing and estimating a backlog.
Long description:
Many companies spend endless hours meticulously creating, prioritizing and estimating detailed requirements. Within this tedious work are weeks if not months of wasted time and effort.
What if you could reduce waste in your requirements building process? What if you could quickly create requirements, prioritize your backlog and estimate effort in days instead weeks or months?
Agile affinity techniques compare things with similar characteristics. These practices enable quick visual discovery of valuable insights that help teams create and prioritize solutions. Affinity facilitation techniques greatly reduce waste while greatly increasing productivity.
The affinity facilitation techniques to be discussed are:
- Persona Affinity - a technique to create and compare persona characteristics and task that quickly generates many stories.
- Story Gallery - a dedicated space with story cards for very large backlogs,which allows fast gathering of questions and comments on the potential size, complexity, prioritization, and feasibility of hundreds of stories.
- Fibonacci Affinity Popcorn - a space where teams can size, value and evaluate hundreds of stories within minutes.
The purpose of this workshop is to introduce, review and practice some affinity facilitation techniques that can greatly reduce your current requirements compilation efforts.
