On Demand, Web-Based Training
The Westfall Team’s on-demand, web-based training courses provide a cost-effective way for your organization to train employees on an as needed, individualized basis.
On-Demand Training Has the Following Benefits:
Cost Effective
Web-based training is less expensive to offer. It also eliminates travel costs and minimizes time away from work/home.
Train Individuals
Students register individually and create their own learning path; perfect for individuals or small organizations.
Train Anytime
Courses are available
24 x 7, so students can schedule training to match their busy lifestyle or work schedules.
Train Anywhere
Web-based training eliminates the need the instructor & students to be co-located; beneficial for distributed teams.
Higher Retention
Students can utilize the materials at their own pace and match their own learning styles. Students can even repeat all or part of the training, to review their learned skills and ensure comprehension.
Modularized for Flexibility
Topics are broken down into short, focused modules so training can be spread out over days, weeks, or even longer. This allows students to take advantage of short downtime periods for training, and businesses do not lose employees for entire days.
On-Going Instructor Support
Our instructors are available to answer students' questions both during the course, and after training completion as students apply what they learned on the job.

Write Right Agile User Stories and Acceptance Tests
Agile project participants report great difficulty getting user stories right and even greater difficulty with their acceptance tests. This two-day course shows how to get both right.
Write Right Agile User Stories
Agile relies on brief requirements in the form of three-line user stories that fit on the front an index card. Despite their seeming simplicity, user stories are hard to get right. Learn how to do it in this highly interactive class.
Defining and Writing REAL Business/User Requirements
Discovering and documenting business requirements always has been projects’ weakest link. Up to 67 percent of maintenance and 40 percent of development is wasted rework and creep attributable to inadequately defined business requirements. Too often projects proceed based on something other than what the business people really need, and traditional methodologies commonly focus on the requirements format.
This interactive workshop also emphasizes how to discover content, why to build it and what it must do to produce value for the customer/user. Using a real case, participants practice discovering, understanding, and writing clear and complete business/user requirements that can cut creep, speed project delivery, reduce maintenance, and delight customers.
