DISCOVER YOUR QUALITY ATTRIBUTES
Quality attributes, such as performance, usability, robustness, and more, are essential for customer satisfaction and can often have a significant impact on technology selection and design. However, quality attributes are challenging for customers to articulate and are notoriously difficult to elicit. They lurk below the level of user consciousness, as unspoken expectations or sometimes, as unanticipated delighters.
User stories, the most common way for agile teams to identify user requirements, don't directly accommodate quality attributes. Consequently quality attributes are often forgotten or ignored until they waylay teams in later delivery cycles, causing user dissatisfaction, deferred value and unnecessary rework.
Quality attributes can be discoveredif you know how and where to look. In this session, we explore techniques that engage customers and technical people alike in proactively uncovering and specifying these crucial requirements. Learn how to promote quality attributes from afterthought to first-class citizens in the world of agile requirements.
Join Ellen in a fast-paced survey of key practices to help you elicit and specify quality attributes on your agile project so you can holistically determine and specify product needs.
