Impact Mapping and Spec by Example – March 20-22 London

“The best course I’ve attended in my career. I loved that the instructor challenged us to think for ourselves and did not give us the answers straight away.” Trond Svensen, SITS

My three-day hands-on Specification by Example and Impact Mapping workshop is coming back to London. Since 2007, almost than 4000 people have benefited from this training. The workshop is aimed at product owners, business analysts, developers and testers working primarily in an agile or lean environment. It is based on Gojko Adzic’s books Impact Mapping, Specification by Example and Bridging the Communication Gap. Through facilitated exercises and discussion, you will learn:

Days 1 and 2 (Specification by Example)

  • how to extend specifications with examples to create a single source of truth for testing and development
  • how to avoid functional gaps and inconsistencies in specifications and tests
  • how to run specification workshops to facilitate collaboration
  • good practices for designing specifications with examples and acceptance tests for agile teams
  • how to create a living documentation system to facilitate change and improve your process long-term
  • how other teams, from small web startups to large distributed teams in investment banks, apply specification by example in their contexts

Days 3 (Impact Mapping)

  • how to create good user stories
  • how to ensure that you’re building the right product
  • how to align the activities of delivery teams and the organisation around them
  • how to make an impact with software products and projects
