As teams constantly develop small incremental features by adding, modifying, refactoring, and re-designing existing software, many challenges emerges with each and every iteration. Among these challenges is ensuring previously delivered functionality is still correct and newly created functionality works as expected within a single iteration.

Test Driven Development (TDD) can help address issues with greater safety and confidence while supporting the team to create better quality software and simpler designs. TDD is built on a set of values that testing and quality are paramount, change is expected and both are constantly embraced.

In this web seminar, we will discuss these benefits, the TDD Cycle, how to get started and challenges facing teams adopting TDD.

Improving organizational Requirements Maturity is a strategic approach to improving project success and aligning IT with the business to meet objectives on time and on budget consistently.

According to the recent IAG BA Benchmark study of 437 large and medium organizations in North America and Europe, the organizational level of Requirements Maturity is directly proportional to the likelihood of project success.

Companies invest millions of dollars in recruitment, hiring, and training of Business Analysts every year without a detailed understanding of the role and how to integrate into the enterprise; the average Requirements Maturity level in North America is only 1.8 on a scale of 1-5, and only a fraction of those measured qualified at a level 3 or higher.

For individual and organizations that are serious about improving in a consistent and measurable way, IAG will explain the key concepts and results you can expect by improving organizational Requirements Maturity

Learning Objectives:

1. The impact of requirements maturity on overall business and project objectives.
2. The Requirements Maturity Model.
3. A high level roadmap to improving requirements capabilities.

Global teams are a complex mixture of individual personalities and skills, cultural values and diverse work styles. Making these teams effective is an important and highly visible corporate objective in most organizations.

With the growth of these teams and the increasingly challenges they face, the opportunity for failure lays around every corner. Although technology makes the creation of global teams possible, cultural diversity makes them both the vital component in a global organization and the difficult cultural challenge they have proved to be.

In the following webinar we will cover the eight most common cultural mistakes in virtual teams you should be able to recognized and avoid.

With the complexity of working with people who live in different countries, come from various cultures, have different notions of collaboration and work, it’s no wonder that the failure rate can be very high.

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