• Techniques for business value-oriented prioritization
• Team organization forms for larger and more complex problems

Using practical examples from the instructors, exercises and the RE@Agile AL curriculum, you will learn how to drive your product development forward in a targeted manner.

You will learn how to formulate visions and goals clearly and how to break them down, formulate and cut them into epics, features and user stories at the right time and in the right quality.

This involves not only the functional requirements, but also the – often neglected – quality requirements. You will also understand what business value is made up of and how backlog items are prioritized using various techniques according to agile principles. Finally, the topic of agile scaling will be addressed and you will get to know the various frameworks a little better.
