When a software development professional first hears about Agile, they are often initially incredulous that this type of approach can work due to a misperception that Agile simply means “no planning.
” This belief could not be further from the truth, as Agile teams tend to plan more throughout the course of a project than a traditional approach, albeit in a different fashion than they may be accustomed to. Rather than planning once at the beginning of a project, Agile teams practice continuous planning throughout the project.”
This web seminar will explore the five Levels of Agile planning, and how they help teams ensure that teams are able to benefit from what they learn over the course of their development and delivery efforts.

Interviewing users is undeniably one of the most valuable and commonly used user research tools. Yet sometimes we forget that it’s a skill we need to learn, because:
- It’s based on skills we think we have (talking or even listening)
- It’s not taught or reflected on.
People tend to ‘wing it’ rather than develop their skills. Without good interviewing skills, insights may be inaccurate or reveal nothing new, suggesting the wrong design or business responses, or they may miss the crucial nuance that points to innovative breakthrough opportunities.
This webcast will look at how to frame the research problem so it has the most impact on the team and their design.
Steve will explore:
- Importance of rapport-building and listening
- Techniques
- Review different types of questions
- Why you need to have a range of question types
- What type of participants to recruit and how to find them

Have you heard of IKIWISI before?
It stands for “I’LL KNOW IT WHEN I SEE IT” 🙂
Customers don’t really know what they want and simply asking them to tell you won’t help. That is why Agile advocates using visual modeling techniques to engage your customer in ‘visioning’ what they really want.
Come learn some of the top Agile Modeling and Visualization techniques you can use to help your customers communicate their vision and reach deeper knowledge of their desired outcomes.

Product delivery teams get caught in traps that prevent them from effectively eliciting, documenting, or managing requirements. It is no wonder they often get out of sync on what they are supposed to build and why. How confident are you that everyone is in sync?
Learn from Jama Software and Karl Wiegers, the renowned author and speaker on requirements management, as he shares symptoms that you might be getting caught in a requirements trap, along with suggestions for avoiding and escaping the trap. Avoiding such traps will create more effective engagement across the entire organization and help your teams deliver successful projects.
The traps discussed in this webinar include:
- Inadequate stakeholder involvement
- Vague and ambiguous requirements
- Analysis paralysis
- Scope creep
- Ineffective change process
- Ineffective change process
- Poor version control
Over the years I’ve found that many software organizations struggle with the same issues when it comes to requirements. Such troublesome topics include:
- how to define project scope;
- the connection between use cases and functional requirements;
- distinguishing requirements from design; and…
- how to use requirements management tools effectively.
Some of the questions I’m asked repeatedly don’t have simple answers.
– Karl Wiegers
This presentation addresses six such common traps when collaborating on requirements.
Presenter: Karl E. Wiegers (LinkedIn profile) Principal Consultant Process Impact has provided training and consulting services worldwide on many aspects of software development, management and process improvement.
Karl is the author of many books including:
