====================
AGILE REQUIREMENTS: PART 03. This is a multi-part series on gatehring requirements. Do not worry if you missed PART1, you can hop right in.
====================
Without good requirements, you cannot do good Agile. You need to know how to collect, gather and define requirements. Attend this meeting to learn how to build a real Product Backlog !
The mechanics of creating requirements in an Agile way is very visual, tactile and collaborative. How we do requirements is the very heart of Agile. To really understand software Agility, you must experience how we gather and define requirements.
This month’s meeting is about creating and generating Personas to help gather and make sense of complex software requirements. Personas provide a named profile for a user type. This profile is useful for describing a user in detail, and generating and understanding user stories and the overall requirements.
NOTE: Registration is a commitment to attend.

About The Presenter:
Jeremy Kriegel has been designing great user experiences (UX) for 15 years. Just as we need to understand the needs and context of users to craft a design solution, Jeremy believes that success also requires us to look at the business context to craft an appropriate design process.
From start-ups to Fortune 100 companies, as a consultant or on an internal team, he has seen a lot of different scenarios that each required their own approach. He brings this diversity of experience to bear in adapting UX to agile methodologies, finding the balance appropriate for each business. Currently, Jeremy leads the UX team at Cambridge Interactive Development Corp, the company behind Everest Poker and the Everest Gaming suite.
