Online Webinar – Recorded
Duration: 1 hr Credits: 1 PDU Category A – $12.95 USD PDU
Presented by: Solutions Cube Group (REP 2451)

This webinar is First in a 3 part series series on Requirements Definition by Solutions Cube.  Although this module is a part of the series – each module in the series can be taken individually.

In many companies, the Requirements Definition process fails to define the “REAL” Business Need for a project.

What may appear to be a great solutions are often developed without any tie to the real project needs. Unfortunately, the discovery of missing, out of scope, or poorly defined requirements often happens much too late in the project lifecycle leading to project failure.

Avoiding these costly mistakes requires a clear understanding of the requirements definition process and the right tools and techniques to define complete requirements for a project.

Solutions Cube Group’s Building the Foundation for Clear Requirements webinar enables participants to recognize the barriers preventing project teams from defining clear requirements.

Participants will learn how to create a requirements definition foundation that engages the right stakeholders, alignment on the project scope and progressive elaboration techniques for maintaining the right level of focus throughout the requirements definition lifecycle.

In this 1 hour in-depth webinar participants learn:

• How to use the Project Scope Statement deliverables to guide the team’s creation of “real” project need and project solution statements
• How to use collaborative techniques to lead team members through requirements creation activities
• How to use the Wave Concept to progressively build requirements using collaborative techniques
• Techniques for ensuring the Requirements Definition efforts are on the right track, from the onset of the project

Security Certifications Are No Longer Adequate Assurance of Protection

Right now, the threat landscape for companies and their information is unlike anything most business unit leaders have seen before.

Organizations are having sensitive data stolen every day, and suddenly everybody bears some responsibility for maintaining security in their area of responsibility.

Corporate data is at stake, and so are the jobs of many in charge.
So who is really in charge of security now?
And how can they “Manage It”?

In this one-hour presentation, Mike Beevers, CISSP, (LinkedIn profile) walks us through where your head should be if you touch anything in your organization that’s connected to sensitive information.

Mike will touch on why:

• The security certifications of the last 15 years are no longer adequate assurance of protection,
• Why we are seeing the traditional IT security role dissolve into a need for someone more literate in:
  • overall security goals,
  • more connected to the business side of incident avoidance,
  • risk management and
  • intelligent response when something happens.

We’ve All Been There …

You are caught in an elevator with the expectation that you will “fill someone in” on the ride between floors.

Or how about this one?

The big boss surprises you in front of the whole department and the group expects you to say a few words.

This and other “impromptu” situations require different skills from those usually associated with making a presentation.

Since you don’t have the time to prepare in advance, you need a set of tools that you can call upon at a moment’s notice “a sort of communication – cheat sheet” stored in your brain for just such emergencies.

This free Webcast gives you useful tips for handling what to say when you weren’t planning on saying anything at all.

Get a wealth of powerful advice and specific techniques including:

• What to say when introduced to someone you’ve never met
