Live Webinar October 1st, 2015 11:00 am – 12:30 pm EDT
Duration: 1 Hour 30 Min Credits: 1 PDU Category A – Free PDU
Presented by: Computer Aid Inc IT Metrics & Productivity Institute (Rep 2733)

In this webinar Didier Koffi  Principal of Pragmaticohesion.com, examines 3 common types of reasoning:

• Deduction, also called logical deduction or, informally, “top-down” logic, is the process of reasoning from one or more statements (premises) to reach a logically certain conclusion. 
• Induction, is reasoning in which the premises seek to supply strong evidence for (not absolute proof of) the truth of the conclusion. While the conclusion of a deductive argument is certain, the truth of the conclusion of an inductive argument is probable, based upon the evidence given
• Abduction  is a form of logical inference which goes from an observation to a theory which accounts for the observation, ideally seeking to find the simplest and most likely explanation.

• Deductive Reasoning
• Inductive Reasoning
• Abductive Reasoning
• Requirements Validation
• System Verification
• From Evidence to Hypothesis
• From Solution System Feature to User Need
• Reasoning types across the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC)
• And an “Illustrative Example”

Didier explores how each of these can each be used to transform user and customer needs into appropriate products and services.
