Workshops
Workshops provide the opportunity for multiple users to engage in discussions on epics and prioritisation. Workshop participants may involve multiple members of the scrum team and individuals that make up a functional team. An organisation may also consider engaging cross functional team members as representatives.
Each of the team members participating in the workshop should align with a persona either as part of their current role or in design of new roles.
Workshops are facilitated events designed to encourage collaboration among team members. Requirements can be gathered in a shorter amount of time and the techniques employed in workshops are proven to reduce product defects and manage scope creep.
Testers should not only participate but, they can also lead key sections related to developing the testing matrix, test cases and prioritisation. User stories can be refined in workshops and subsequent test cases with acceptance criteria also completed.
