Requirements Engineering (RE) bridges the entire life cycle and thus determines success or failure of a product or solution.

This mini tutorial with Christof Ebert (LinkedIn profile) shows how to best use RE and master its challenges. It describes how to develop and write good requirements and how to manage them during the project. The presentation underlines the basic concepts and practices of RE with broad industrial experiences.

WebnLearn: Project Talk – The Live Web-Radio Talk Show from MPUG “All Projects are Unique – Except When They Aren’t!” – Using Templates for Effective Project Planning

Well, actually it’s the project’s resulting product, service, or result that will be unique. But the process, methodology, and project control deliverables are often the same across projects!

That’s why using project templates makes sense. The ability to maintain consistency and ensure project scope and resource requirements are complete, project plan templates can be a tremendous asset for effective planning.

Come explore the ins and outs of Microsoft Project templates and how to deploy them to get the most out of your historical project data, heuristics, and lessons learned, with the ProjectTalk guys!

Project Talk is an interactive ‘radio show’ and web-session with real-time demonstrations of common project management and scheduling issues and how to address them using Microsoft Project and other tools.

If you’d like to participate in the show, ask a question or offer a comment, simply type it into the Q&A Tool, then raise your hand using the ‘raise your hand’ tool, and un-mute your microphone so you can join the conversation! Anyone who participates live on the show will receive a stylish MPUG T-Shirt or other great prize!

Note: Remember to answer to the question in the registration “Are you requesting a PDU for this event”

This webinar with Dan Galorath (LinkedIn profile) explores how to more accurately estimate total ownership costs and benefits so that portfolio decisions can be optimized and IT can be transformed into a profit center.
