This two-day course provides hands-on immersion into a lightweight collaborative Agile approach to help you design and manage the development, validation, and incremental release of a successful software product. Learning topics include:

• Agile development’s iterative-development incremental-release lifecycle and the fundamental value system that motivates it.
• The product design process and how that process overlays onto an Agile lifecycle.
• Understanding business value by modeling measurable business objectives from your company’s, and your buying customer’s perspective.
• Identify key user constituencies and model them using user profiles and personas then supporting personas with information gathered from user interviews, customer feedback, and a variety of other sources.
• Model user workflow to identify usage patterns and leverage workflow models to identify releases that effectively support end-to-end product use.
• Construct and validate user interface using low fidelity UI prototyping.
• Write tactical user stories ideal for iterative development and supported by automated functional acceptance tests to specify and validate functionality.
• Facilitate lightweight usability testing to validate your product’s usefulness and usability.

The workshop manual supplies full step-by-step instructions for design and modeling techniques along with valuable concept explanations and facilitation techniques used within the course.
