Many teams jump straight to defining requirements without really understanding the context for the solution and the business problems that need to be solved.

To help provide better solutions, Kurt Bittner provides a webcast where you will discover the issues associated with problem identification, analysis and explore how to better connect to traditional requirements approaches.

Learn how to attain a real understanding of the needs of stakeholders and examine the desired outcomes for defining software requirements.

Many organizations experience delays at various points throughout the project lifecycle.

Microsoft SharePoint is a collaborative solution that can be used to eliminate these delays at any stage in that lifecycle, from project initiation to closure.

In reality, different projects and different stages of the project require differing amounts of process and collaboration, making SharePoint the perfect solution.

SharePoint can be customized and extended with templates and reporting to become a powerful project management tool, providing the necessary structure to successfully manage a project throughout its entire lifecycle.

Prevent the first instance of failure by productively managing your Scope and Requirements processes.

Relationship-based approach or force-feed approach will not optimize precious time with your customers, sponsors, and teams. Excellence in execution only goes so far without the right mindset and right set of priorities. Shaving off time from an inefficient Scope and Requirements process will only further the damage.

To have successful projects, you must assess the big picture. With set goals in sight, you can map your team and customer time to their highest value efforts, thus driving goals to completion.

Attendees will walk away with the ability to lead their teams through a value-based, document-centric short and productive planning process.

Initial work in the first stages of a project is usually document-based rather than technical or physical. Without a proven plan in place, it is easy to become distracted and to have the words, “Deadlines don’t matter at the start of a project, only at the end–we’ll catch up” uttered about your project.

Disaster awaits those who allow their projects to muddle through the first half of their project life, then attempt to “catch up” during the second half.

Learn how to manage projects effectively from the start.

This webinar is 1 hour long and attendees are eligible for 1 PDU.
