In today’s hyper-competitive environment, innovation and time to market are the key pillars for success.

While software in applications and embedded systems is emerging as the primary agent for innovation, it is also adding complexity.

Modern innovations such as Agile have proven to shorten product delivery, but come with their own set of challenges.

The ability to empower all stakeholders to collaborate in a unified development environment can solve many of these challenges and increase performance.

In this webinar Jiri Walek will provide you with an insightful view of applying industry best practices.

Learn how a unified tool can:

• Positively impact innovation and time-to-market through collaboration
• Give you full traceability
• Provide the advantages of electronic signatures
• Highlight the benefits of centralized reuse and variant management
• Provide the ability to utilize Agile throughout the Product Lifecycle

Presenter: Jiri Walek, (LinkedIn profile) VP Product Management, Polarion, brings 10+ years experience in software product management and engineering to Polarion. Previously, Jiri worked at Disnet Software, where he established a track record of successful projects initiatives. He also worked as a software developer and architect on visionary projects based on Meta-Object Facility standards and model-driven engineering. Jiri holds a master’s degree in Mathematics from the Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic.

So you’ve gone Agile, so that means that you no longer have to create comprehensive requirements documents, right?

Remember the agile manifesto says that the goal is “working software over comprehensive documentation.”

So because of that, we can’t be nimble if we take the time to put together the documentation, right?

WRONG!

This month, PROJECTinsight is going to give the real story about requirements in an Agile environment.

Requirements gathering and documentation doesn’t have to look the way it has always looked, but it must have some key elements. Learn how to foster creativity, yet communicate clearly how a change needs to be implemented.

In Part II of this session,  PROJECTinsight will have their experts at Core Performance Concepts  give feedback on the submissions and talk more about creative ways to capture and retain requirements in an agile environment, enabling organizations to be nimble in their development cycles.

Improving cash flow and reducing costs are often combined into contradictory supply chain objectives.

In addition to clarifying costs versus cash flow, this webinar provides a framework for approaching cost reduction by defining and providing insights into three supply chain costs: structural design costs, planning cost trade-offs and operating waste.

Discussion Topics:

• How to think differently about supply chain cost to make better decisions
• What structural cost is, and how it can be optimized
• How others have broken through traditional trade-offs to deliver increased performance and reduced cost
