Many shy away from use cases within an Agile approach because they resemble the ways of elicitation and analysis from the Waterfall approach. However, regardless of how one approaches requirements analysis, the end goal is the same: help business users/stakeholders identify their true needs and translate them into requirements.

For Agile requirements to be successful, both must be leveraged to get to the heart of the most appropriate business solution that brings value to the customer.

Webinar attendees will learn about when to use use cases and when to user stories, within requirements gathering, to gain maximum value from both. This webinar offers tips and techniques that can be used today to gather stronger requirements.

As an organization gets one or more Agile teams up and running, the next major challenge is to scale Agile across multiple project teams within a Program or Portfolio. This requires an understanding of how to effectively manage incoming work, distribute it across multiple teams to efficiently generate business value and to measure the entire end-to-end process.

This hour-long web seminar will explore these areas and provide clear steps your team and organization should consider to scale your agile transformation.

Businesses choose Agile to speed time to market of their products and stay nimble and responsive to constantly changing customer needs. As development cycles accelerate, it is more important than ever for project teams to ensure development activities align with business priorities.

The challenge is making sure that everyone has a shared vision of what is being built and why throughout the development process. Both business and development teams need to be able to collaborate on key decisions affecting the product, schedule or budget at any time.

Join this event and learn key ideals of Agile and challenges faced by Business Analysts. We’ll focus on what we’ve heard as the top challenges of Agile development, and how to solve them.

Organization structures in most companies today make resource management a daunting task. A lack of visibility into resource allocation and capacity, consistent prioritization and validation of actual work versus planned, contribute to this challenge.

Over 50% of IT organizations surveyed use their “best guess” when determining what capacity IT has to perform projects in a given period.

This webinar presents the fundamentals for creating and implementing a Resource Management Model using people, process and technology. A Resource Management Model is a set of processes that provide visibility, decision support and structure to effectively manage people in an organization.

Allocating resources based on availability and fit, supported by standard processes, will improve the success and predictability of projects across your organization.

Who should attend this webinar?
COO’s, CIOs, Department VPs and Managers, PMs, Resource Managers

Some say project success means being compliant with specifications, planning and budget.

• Would it mean that project success would rely on the very first estimate communicated?
• Would it mean that changes to the plan are impossible?
• Does project success mean business success?

But … However success for the client doesn’t mean success for the provider and success for shareholders doesn’t mean success for employees.

So what do you mean by project success?

Qu’entendez-vous par “projet réussi”?

Par projet réussi, certains entendent un projet dans les délais, dans les temps et qui respecte le cahier des charges initial. Selon cette définition, la première estimation serait forcément la bonne. Tout changement au programme serait interdit.
Pour d’autres, le critère de réussite est le business. Mais du point de vue de l’actionnaire ou de celui de l’employé ? Du point de vue du client ou de celui du fournisseur ? Alors qu’entendez-vous par “projet réussi”?
