Refinement of user specifications and requirements is a key activity in the development process. Product Owners, analysts, and other team members collaborate daily to analyze and understand user needs. They aim to create clear product backlog items that accurately describe these needs and provide the team with all the necessary information for effective solution implementation.
In this session, we will provide an overview of essential user requirement management techniques (Product Backlog Management), including the format and content of user stories, refinement techniques (refinement, slicing), and development planning (Roadmaps, User Story Mapping).
The central focus of this lecture will be on how Copilot can dramatically improve how you refine user requirements. Copilot's unique understanding of the codebase, combined with its ability to suggest text in real-time, significantly enhances the efficiency of writing requirements. We will demonstrate how Copilot excels at creating acceptance criteria, writing comprehensive tests, and generating test data.
Additionally, we will share practical tips on maximizing productivity while ensuring the quality and completeness of your written user requirements. We will also point out known issues in working with Copilot and how to avoid them.
Join us in a conversation with Copilot, a specialist in code and user requirement refinement, regardless of their domain and complexity!
