If I could only give one piece of advice to a new project manager or business analyst it would be to strive to understand what the real problem is before leaping into a solution requested by their business clients. – David Marsh

Join PMIs Government CoP in their first collaboration with the Requirements Management Community, as we learn from David Marsh, an expert in use case driven and agile development, in this webinar that will change the way you view the project requirements.

In this webinar, David’s objective is to guide the audience away from order-taking and towards becoming business-enablers on public sector projects.

David:

1. Argues that the consequences of failure for public sector software projects is higher than it is for private sector projects, especially in terms of visibility (and publicity)
2. Recounts some typical order-taking scenarios and explains their impacts
3. Reviews some proven techniques for root cause analysis (e.g., 5-whys and fishbone diagrams)
4. And then describes some of his own techniques for ensuring that business clients maximize the benefits they receive from technology implementation.

Note: You do have to be a PMI® member to register for this opportunity.
