NZCS Test Professionals Network (Auckland) presents:

Stories for grown-ups - Creating user stories and how this affects testers with Sandy Mamoli.

Now we're running Agile - help! "I don't recognise my job anymore and I'm supposed to work with user stories instead of functional specifications - HELP?!"

Scrum Coach and Agile advocate Sandy Mamoli will share her experiences as a Scrum Coach at the ACC and Sony Ericsson in this "warts and all" presentation. Hear real life stories about working with Agile and being an Agile tester. Find out what works and what doesn't. Get insights into challenging the norm and how to write good user stories. Most of all get answers to "what are user stories anyway, do I need them and what they have to do with testing!"

We would be grateful if you could please forward this invite to others who may be interested in the event.

We would also like to thank Sandy Mamoli for offering her time to present.

Thank you,

The Auckland TPN Committee
