Smart business analysts rely on models and other artifacts like decision tables and prototypes to help them ask the right questions at the right level of detail, to avoid making assumptions and to avoid leaving out something important.

Use cases, context diagrams, workflow models, state diagrams and other artifacts including UML models help business analysts to structure the conversations with subject matter experts, to analyze the requirements and to communicate the precise details to the people who have to deliver the solution; however, there are so many models out that that it can be confusing to know which one to use and when; and how they relate to the business requirements document.

In this webinar, you’ll learn the most useful models for business analysis, and you will learn guidelines for determining which model to use, and when, and how to incorporate them into the business requirements document.

Learning objectives include:

• Recognize the visual requirements models available to business analysts
• Understand what questions each type of model is designed to answer
• Identify when a business analyst should apply each model

Many organizations try to improve their quality and productivity by establishing a company-wide process improvement program.

These programs often result in large amounts of process documents, which eventually become a burden or are ignored completely. In many cases, the organization is left with very little benefit to show for its efforts.

Several improvement models and standards exist that can save you much time, such as the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) Capability Maturity Model Integrated (CMMI), Six Sigma, Lean and ISO9001.

This webinar with Neil Potter (LinkedIn profile) shows how to keep the use of such published improvement frameworks focused on running the business. The webinar is geared towards senior managers, project or program managers, and process improvement coaches.

SharePoint is a fantastic tool for collaboration and information sharing, but it can also be enhanced and extended for work and project management using templates.

Projects can vary in size and complexity, meaning there is no “one size fits all” approach to project management, even within the same organization.

Different projects require different amounts of management and structure, making SharePoint templates the perfect solution for collaborative project management.

SharePoint templates are a fast yet practical starting point and can be customized to meet your needs. The templates can be used to manage work, single projects, or across many projects.

Éamonn McGuinness (LinkedIn profile) of BrightWork will walk through our template driven approach to project management on SharePoint. We will fully explain this model and demonstrate the approach.
