Business objectives are the measurable results a business desires to achieve when executing an agile project. They can be used to ensure that everything developed in the project contributes to the desired measurable business value, and to help prioritize the backlog. This presentation will help business analysts develop good business objectives, and to derive epics, user stories, and acceptance criteria from them, while learning how to apply them to control project scope and prioritize the backlog.
