Curriculum

1. 01Agile and the Business AnalystHow agile teams work, the Scrum roles and events, and where a business analyst adds value when there's no big requirements document to write.20 min
2. 02Product Vision and OutcomesWrite a product vision and goal that keep a team pointed at the right problem, and define outcomes you can measure, not just features you can ship.20 min
3. 03Story MappingLay out a product's whole user journey as a story map, find the walking skeleton, and slice releases that each deliver something usable end to end.20 min
4. 04Splitting StoriesBreak big stories into small, valuable slices with proven splitting patterns, so work finishes inside a sprint and feedback comes sooner.20 min
5. 05Refinement, Ready and DoneRun backlog refinement that gets stories ready before sprint planning, use the three amigos to catch misunderstandings early, and agree a definition of ready and done.20 min
6. 06Estimation and PrioritisationSize work relatively with story points and planning poker, and order the backlog by value with cost of delay and WSJF, so the most valuable small things come first.20 min
7. 07Velocity and Release ForecastingUse the team's real velocity to forecast a release as a range, show scope growth on a burn-up chart, and give stakeholders honest options when the date is at risk.25 min
8. 08Measuring Flow and QualityMeasure how smoothly work moves through the team with cycle time, throughput, commitment reliability and bug trends, and use the numbers to start improvement, not blame.20 min
