In many companies, the Requirements Definition process fails to define the “real” business need for a project and solutions are often defined before knowing what they need to satisfy. Business Requirements that are defined are often unclear leaving ample room for guess work and misinterpretation by the team members responsible for providing the project solution.

The Business Requirements document must be clear and complete and specific to the underlying business needs of the project without regard for solutions.

Solutions Cube Group’s Defining Clear and Complete Business Requirements webinar teaches participants how to differentiate between types of requirements and levels of requirement definition.

Our instructors describe and demonstrate the use of collaborative JAD techniques to lead the project stakeholders through activities to fully document the project needs.

Participants learn techniques to steer stakeholders away from describing their needs as solutions which are premature to discuss and often out of line or limiting for the project.

In this 1 hour in-depth webinar participants learn:

• How to clearly differentiate between “What” and “How” when creating project requirements
• How ensure their requirements document encompasses all types of requirements including functional, supporting and interface needs
• Techniques for documenting high level business requirement statements
• Techniques for drilling requirements down to detail level statements without stating solutions
• Questioning techniques to uncover true business need

From its beginnings a decade ago as a niche file sharing application primarily used by IT departments, SharePoint has become a staple in the enterprise collaboration market.

With the release of MOSS 2007, Microsoft gave organizations a lightweight, easy-to-deploy tool they could use to spin up collaboration spaces with little IT overhead.

With the release of SharePoint 2010, Microsoft upped the ante again, evolving SharePoint into a robust collaboration platform that also offered strong document management capabilities.

Today, most large organizations have substantial SharePoint footprints, and an increasing number of organizations (small, medium, and large) are trying to use SharePoint as their primary (or sometimes sole) document management system…but doing so presents some challenges that make realizing SharePoint’s value proposition far from certain.

In this webinar ASPE Discusses the use of SharePoint as a document management tool and the risks and opportunities it presents to organizations.

Learning Objectives:

• An overview of document management
• What SharePoint can and can’t do for document management
• SharePoint document management worst practices
• SharePoint document management best practices
