Product requirements have different meaning and value depending on a stakeholder’s point of view. How do you elicit and evaluate these varying perspectives? How can a community of stakeholders act as partners to explore their diverse and sometimes conflicting needs? Whether you are using agile or traditional practices, your backlog of requirements is best organized in a manner that facilitates delivering the highest value. Join Mary Gorman for an engaging and interactive learning game to explore how various personas organize product needs.

Working in teams over multiple rounds, you analyze backlog items, evoke points of view, consider varied and opposing needs, and organize requirements. In the session retrospective, you reflect on the experience, identify key learning points, and leave with specific ways you can explore requirements with your stakeholders. You also gain fresh insights about numerous analysis and product ownership activities, including stakeholder analysis, organizing, ordering, and allocating requirements. And, as a bonus, you leave with a powerful learning game you can share in your organization.

What Attendees Will Learn:

• Realize the value of eliciting a variety of perspective
• Explore diverse stakeholder viewpoints
• Understand how prioritization varies by stakeholder
