The rubber stamp for project approvals has been shelved for the last few years. Only projects that can show a direct and quick return on investment or those that have made a compelling and believable “strategic importance” pitch will be approved. The “strategic importance” pitch is very risky and can come at the cost of a project not getting approved.

The logical path for Business and IT professionals is to take the business case approach to getting projects approved. Business and project professionals have two choices right now, one is to sit on the sidelines and wait till the economic environment is better to push their project(s) through or learn how to build a convincing business case.

Presenter:
Sherry Pate is a PMP with a proven track record of Project Management success and a strong expertise in Project Management training. She is also a seasoned Business Analyst who has trained over 1,500 professionals on Business Analysis techniques. Her extensive experience not only includes Project Management but also Software Development, Portfolio Management and Program Management.

In this presentation Sherry will cut to the chase and give you a pragmatic real-world look at Business Case development. She will provide you tips to protect yourself from delusional optimism and build a case based on rational expectations, real estimates and real needs.

When it comes to running a requirements workshop, the business analyst is in a bit of a tough situation; it’s hard to facilitate a group and to get the requirements at the same time. Meetings drag on and on, users change their minds, they can’t agree amongst themselves, or the scope keeps changing.

In this webinar, you’ll learn some key facilitation techniques to make your working sessions with users more effective.

Learning objectives include:

• A simple and straight forward technique to plan an effective requirements gathering session
• What to do before the workshop to make the session successful
• How to keep the workshop focused and moving
• Tips and techniques for dealing with difficult situations like the non-stop talker, the dominator, and the quiet one and the group that can’t agree on anything
