Understanding the real scope of any project is vital to controlling the project.
As a project manager or business analyst, it is key to first document the initial scope of the project and then direct, monitor and control the scope through Requirements Management techniques.
Learning these techniques provide the ability to more easily control the quality issues, costs, time and risks associated with on-going scope creep associated with requirements changes.
In this seminar you will:
- Review the role of a facilitator in running a Requirements Workshop.
- Learn the phases of a workshop and building the “Heart” of a workshop’s agenda.
- Review useful facilitation techniques along with failures and critical success factors.
- And more…

Project management methodology refers to the processes, templates, techniques, roles and other aspects of the model you use for managing projects.
The processes used to manage a project are well known – planning, scheduling, budgeting, estimating, communicating, etc. However, different organizations build different models for how they think about and implement project management.
The purpose of this webinar is to provide insights into many of the ways that different companies establish their models for project management.
