The Lean Enterprise Live Training Series

Writing a well-crafted business case may be key to securing funding, but it has little impact on whether your initiative succeeds or fails.

A clear product strategy and knowing which initiatives to start, stop, or continue will serve you better in the long run, especially if your goal is creating a high performance organization.

Join Barry O’Reilly as he presents an alternative, evidence-based approach to making investments and managing and prioritizing your organization’s projects and products.

He’ll show how using techniques such as customer discovery, hypothesis-driven development, and innovation accounting can minimize risk, inform your teams, and get the optimal return on your efforts.

Presenter: Barry O’Reilly  (LinkedIn profile, @barryoreilly) is a frequent speaker, writer and blogger on industry topics related to innovation, organizational leadership and strategy. Co Author of Lean Enterprise: How High Performance Organizations Innovate at Scale, Barry works with ThoughtWorks, consulting with leading organizations on continuous improvement using Lean and Agile practices and principles.

Verifying and validating requirements early on will help ensure your team develops a solid set of project requirements with minimal change as the project progresses.

Requirements verification is critical to maximizing successful outcomes and aids the business analyst in determining when a design is complete.

Learn:

• What requirements verification is and what are its benefits
• Why we need verified requirements
• How to plan for verification and execution
• Requirement verification attributes
• Verification methods and modeling

The webinar will explore the four fundamental methods for requirements verification: Inspection, Demonstration, Testing and Analysis. You will be taken on a journey through the life of a requirement.

Presenter: Terrell Smith (LinkedIn profile), MPA, PMP, CBAP With over 25 years of experience in a wide range of project management and business analysis assignments, he brings concepts to life in a practical and easy to apply manner. Terrell has assisted clients in the development of project management methodologies, risk assessments, quality management, agile methods, problem solving, rescuing troubled projects, implementing business analysis best practices, and team building.
