Briefly explain what your product will do.
Describe one key user of your solution using a persona.
Create a list of 10 possible user stories (titles only) in alignment with the supplied
case study.
Prioritise these user stories using the MoSCoW technique.
Use the Story Mapping technique to lay out all these stories and select those which will make up your MVP (Minimum Viable Product).
Write a descriptive definition of what your selected MVP is and which of the options on the case study that it aligns to.
Elaborate six of these selected user stories (MVP) using the “As a”, “I want”, “So that” technique.
Select 4 of these user stories and elaborate further elaborate their specific acceptance criteria using the “Given - When - Then” technique.

Select 4 of these user stories and elaborate further elaborate their specific acceptance criteria using the “Given - When - Then” technique. Please refer to the Task Instructions for details on how to complete this task. Context The aim of this assessment is to introduce students to Agile practice and activities in a business context, which serves as a foundation for the rest of the subject. In this assessment, students will develop skills in reviewing a case study, identifying key concepts within the case study which need to be addressed, researching these concepts, synthesising ideas about these concepts and writing a report containing completed Agile artefacts. This will give students an opportunity to develop work-ready skills as an Agile Business Analyst. Task Instructions To complete this assessment task, you must: 1. Review your subject notes, essential readings, and learning activities to ensure that you are well prepared for the assignment. 2. Create a report plan and identify all the key components that will be required in your report to meet the assessment brief requirements. 3. Refer to the Assessment Rubric to ensure that you address all the assessment criteria. Report Structure The report is brief and therefore will not require and executive summary or abstract.
