Selection Part 1

ProjectManagement.com / Gantthead premium content

Your organization is purchasing requirements management software and since the software already exists, you don’t need requirements for the requirements tool, right?

Wrong!

If you install it, they’ll just start using it right?

The level of detail and the most important types of requirements information vary to select and configure the tool for success.

Joy Beatty will briefly describe how to define requirements for selecting a requirements management tool.

Joy also discusses how to define a requirements architecture for your requirements methodology and organization.

Finally, Joy Beatty suggest sways to overcome common road blocks of implementing a requirements management tool once selected – including dealing with tool limitations and user adoption challenges.

Learning Objectives:

1. Understand the level of requirements needed to select and implement a requirements management tool
2. How to design a requirements architecture that works within the tool and your methodology
3. How to effectively adopt a requirements management tool within your team by eliminating common challenges

Presenter: Joy Beatty, (LinkedIn profile) Vice President, Research & Development Seilevel, Joy Beatty has 15 years of experience in helping change the way customers create requirements with new requirements methodologies and training courses. She is a contributor to the core team for the new release of the IIBA BABOK^® Guide.

There is a lot of promise in the Internet of Things (IoT) as a means to create business value, but there is also a lot of hype.

In fact, a recent Gartner survey found that unclear business benefits is the top barrier to IoT efforts overall.

In addition, since IoT is not a singular technology per se, but rather a general wave of technology, the opportunities to create value can vary considerably across industries, as well as between functional areas within an organization.

Clearly, there is a pressing need for an overarching business benefits framework that planners can use to identify where and how IoT can deliver business value, and to define and organize IoT initiatives.

To help those planning or considering IoT initiatives, Gartner’s IoT benefits framework covers both internal objectives such as operational efficiency improvements, and external objectives like generating revenues.

It can also be used to imagine the art of the possible for IoT, and to develop the business case for IoT. CIOs, IT leaders, business leaders with technology responsibilities in end-user organizations will find this webinar valuable for planning IoT initiatives. Technology and service providers interested in building more targeted IoT value propositions will benefit as well.

Join Gartner Research Director Chet Geschickter (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) as he helps you understand The Quest For IoT Business Value.

Discussion Topics:

• Gartner’s IoT benefits model and how it can be used to understand the potential for IoT
• Challenges for measuring and capturing IoT return on investment and strategies overcoming those challenges
• Advice on how to communicate and champion the business potential of IoT within your organization
