This tutorial teaches how to use a simple 5 component model to identify and prioritise stories on a project. The five elements to the model are: Business Objectives (value and goals) Business Actors (who does this) Business Events (when does this happen) Business Process (what needs to be done) Business Objects (what do we do it with - information and/or tools) The tutorial introduces the model as a tool for understanding current (“as is”) and future state (“to be”), identifying the stories for the future state and teaches the participants how to use it on a mock project.
