Description: 
 

 

Product owners often struggle to translate their big ideas into small user stories that the team can deliver in a sprint. When a user story is too big, it is harder to understand, estimate, and implement successfully. Some teams break the ‘business story’ into ‘technical stories’ but this doesn’t solve the problem because most or all of the technical stories need to be completed before there is anything meaningful for the stakeholders.

This experiential session will give you hands-on experience with 4 simple, yet powerful techniques to break big stories into smaller stories that are meaningful to stakeholders and deliver business value. Participants write and split stories in small groups throughout this session. In his years of agile coaching, Chris has never found a story that could not be split using at least one of these techniques.

Based on the popularity of our prior events with Second Harvest of Silicon Valley (SHSV), we have arranged this event.  Register quickly, as the spaces for this event are likely to be booked quickly.

 

Special Registration Instructions: Interested members have to register individually with PMISV group reservation number GR-29759 at Second Harvest Food Bank website (Second Harvest Registration Link) -- Note -- Only 25 spaces are available, and spots are limited.  Please register early.  Registration is FREE. If registration is full, please check back closer to the event, as spots often open up when registered individuals have to cancel.

 

Event Description: This volunteering work is to help sort and box the fresh produce and healthy groceries that SHSV provides to neighbors in our community. Duties may include sorting and quality control, assembly line work, lifting boxes onto pallets, or unloading produce. Volunteer shifts include clean-up time as well. Please note these shifts are fast paced and active and may require lifting up to 25 pounds.

 

Second Harvest of Silicon Valley is fighting hunger by providing over 500,000 needy people per month in Silicon Valley through food recovery.  Food rescue, also called food recovery, is the practice of collecting fresh, edible food that would have otherwise gone to waste from restaurants, grocers, and other food establishments, and distributing it to local social service agencies.  Food rescue is extremely effective because it simultaneously gets food to those who need it most and reduces food waste, minimizing the amount of toxic emissions from food waste in landfills.
