Hands-On AI for Agile User Stories and Acceptance Tests

Thursday-Friday May 28-29, 2026, 10:00 am - 6:00  ET

Vendor hype and wishful expectations increasingly lead organizations to (perhaps over-)rely on Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools to define Agile user stories and their acceptance tests. 

Regardless whether a human or AI tool messes up, wrong, missed, and misunderstood user stories have enormous negative consequences.  AI can increase the likelihood and impact of such problems, in part because there may no longer be suitably skilled humans to oversee AI results.

This interactive seminar couples practice applying thought-leading user story and acceptance test concepts and techniques with demonstrations comparing AI tools’ results at multiple development points.  Additionally, a leading general-purpose generative AI tool’s results are contrasted with Spec2TestAI™, which is specialized for user stories and their acceptance tests. 

Experience where AI tools do well and where they cannot be relied upon, so you can end up with what you need in the least time, effort, and cost.

 

  • Keys to effective user story and acceptance test format and content
  • Impacts/effectiveness of applying general and specific AI tools at progressive points
  • Guides and cautions for relying upon AI tools to define user stories and their acceptance tests
