This two day experiential course explores the practice of User Stories with Lego. Then, develop a dynamic paper-based social-network to learn how User Stories tie in with Behaviour Driven Development (BDD), a practice that formalises the practices of the best TDD practitioners. It helps us see how to evolve our product both incrementally and iteratively, as we evolve our understanding of what our users need.

See how these collaborative, outside-in approaches grow our understanding of the problem we're solving for our users, to ultimately implement software that matters.
