About This Class

Vague requirements kill sprint velocity. The AI Backlog & User Story Masterclass is a hands-on, 4-hour workshop that teaches Product Owners, Business Analysts, and Agile teams how to use generative AI prompt frameworks to turn messy inputs — customer feedback, legacy specs, support tickets — into razor-sharp user stories, acceptance criteria, and prioritized backlogs in minutes instead of hours.

You'll leave with ready-to-use AI templates to pressure-test assumptions, spot missing requirements, and walk into sprint planning with a developer-ready backlog. This is a skills workshop, not a certification — earn 4 SEUs, no prerequisites required.

Outcomes

What You'll Walk Away With

✓

Sprint-ready stories in minutes — not hours of back-and-forth in refinement.

✓

Structured backlogs from messy inputs — feedback, tickets, and legacy docs turned into clear Epics.

✓

Zero ambiguity for developers — AI-drafted acceptance criteria and test cases, every time.

✓

Confident prioritization — AI-powered cost-of-delay models that cut through backlog debates.

Curriculum

What You'll Learn

Writing & structuring stories with AI

Persona-Driven Prompting — craft prompts that synthesize messy customer feedback into structured Epics.

Automated Acceptance Criteria — use AI to draft Given-When-Then (BDD) scenarios that eliminate developer ambiguity.

Intelligent Story Splitting — apply AI heuristics to split complex features into vertical, INVEST-compliant stories.

Synthesizing Complex Specs — transform dense legacy documentation and stakeholder PDFs into clear Agile stories.

Refining & prioritizing the backlog with AI

Refinement Session Acceleration — reduce team meeting time while dramatically increasing developer clarity.

Customer Research Synthesis — use AI to distill hundreds of support tickets and interviews into prioritized backlog themes.

Assumption Mapping with AI — identify high-risk product assumptions and generate prompt-driven experiment cards.

Value-Based Prioritization — leverage AI models to evaluate cost-of-delay and prioritize feature backlogs effectively.

Ideal For

Who Should Attend
