Requirements are critical to any successful development activity.

In a time when speed to market and agility are critical success factors, it is no surprise that the Agile framework and SCRUM process are urgently being sought out by organizations with the hopes of creating efficiencies, decreasing defects and time to market, while increasing overall productivity.

Amidst cultural adaptation, role delineation, and a paradoxical shift from a Waterfall approach to an incremental approach, the fact remains, requirements are still the key drivers to success.

Are requirements really as easy as having a user write a bunch of stuff on an index card and setting the developers free to code some miraculous product?

Hardly. The truth is, nothing has changed where requirements are concerned. In fact, this presentation puts the world of requirements development and management into context and discusses the harmony that can be created when Agile practices are put into place.

This webinar will address the following topics:

1. Why bother – aren’t index cards enough? The value in understanding Agile requirements
2. The many layers of Agile requirements; from portfolio to program to project
3. Who are the players when it comes to requirements?
4. A word about non-functional requirements
5. The requirements analysis toolkit…revisited

“The Lazy Trainer” reminds us that the less we teach,
The more learners have the chance to learn for themselves.

Unfortunately, a significant number of trainers and training designers are paranoid. They lack faith or trust that the learners can provide or discover the “right answers and content.” This limits the possibilities for effective learning, driven by learners. Companies are also deprived of the opportunity to reduce costs while increasing the speed of training.

In this webinar, you will learn:

• How to structure training sessions and eLearning lessons that improve the learner’s ability to provide reliable and accurate content ideas.
• How to develop interactive lessons that encourage learners to search, discover, analyze and add value to the learning ideas.
• How to structure a learning system (an LMS, a social learning tool, mLearning) that ensures learners do most of the learning while trainers spend less time teaching.

Presenter : Ray Jimenez (LinkedIn profile) – Chief Learning Architect and Founder of Vignettes Learning and StoryImpacts.com, a systems development and consulting company specializing in e-Learning and Performance Systems, eLearning course development and interactive tools and social learning community platform.
