Requirements are the key aspects to successful projects and the foundational concept of where business analysts can bring value to an organization.

When done with rigor and discipline, requirements keep projects on scope, validate testing efforts and ensure alignment with overall organizational strategies while ensuring value continues to be delivered.

However, managing requirements well in our constantly changing and dynamic environments is the challenge every project manager, business analyst, product owner and subject matter expert today faces regardless if they are novice level and entering the analyst field or seasoned professionals managing complex environments.

In this session Jamie Champagne will walk through practical applications of requirements analysis & design and managing requirements in the ‘real world’ – where strict processes and templates may not always be followed (or even created), learn tips and tricks to help keep efforts on track and moving in a positive direction even when you’re not the leader or person in charge (or even get the title of Business Analyst of Requirements Manager) and while having some fun (didn’t know requirements were that exciting, did you…?) !

Topics to be covered during this session are planning for requirements elicitation, elicitation techniques, traceability, testing plans, validation, approvals, tracking and even reuse.

As well as there will be room for questions to bring up your own situations and challenges you face in your environments today.

Course Learning Objectives Include:

• Understand the multiple facets of requirements
• Learn techniques for eliciting and managing requirements
• Gain tips and tricks to immediately apply to requirements in your own work

With the Course You Will Receive:

• Access to the Live and Recorded Version of Webinar
• Personalized Certificate of Attendance
• Copy of Presentation Slides

How To Lead With Presence & Impact!

Why does emotional intelligence (EI) matter? Because at the core of every outstanding leader are the abilities to connect, achieve, inspire and act with resilience.

Emotional intelligence has evolved from an area of research to a recognized set of best practices and core competencies that are at the heart of successful leadership. Today we use EI as an integrated set of skills that underpin highly effective, fast-reacting, and innovative organizations.

This webcast offers you a powerful introduction to the highly popular hands-on AMA seminar, Leading with Emotional Intelligence.

To give a real sense of EI in practice, we’ll take a deep look at how EI drives and facilitates your ability to lead collaboration.  You’ll also learn about the F.L.I.P. Modes of Conversation as a “must have” tool for collaboration and relationship enhancement.

If you want to become the consummate emotionally intelligent leader, this webcast is a great place to start.

Learn:

• Emotional Intelligence (EI):
  • What it is and why it’s such a critical leadership skill
• The 4 cornerstones of EI
• How EI underpins and facilitates 6 core leadership competencies
• The role EI plays in leading collaboration
• How EI skills can help you overcome defensiveness
• Learn how to F.L.I.P. a conversation toward collaboration

We encourage you to register even if you are unable to attend live; you’ll receive replay information following the event.

As project management professionals, we have all become increasingly aware of the importance of the so-called “soft skills” aspect of our profession.

In recent years, skills such as time management, communication (verbal and non-verbal), emotional intelligence (EQ), facilitation, conflict resolution, and organizational management have received more and more recognition as essential aspects of successful project management.

Another essential skill we as PM professionals need to recognize is Project Relationship Management or PRM. Project Relationship Management (PRM) is defined as the active development, cultivation, and maintenance of  project-associated relationships.

in this presentation Ruffin Veal III  takes a look at each of the essential relationships encountered during the life cycle of a project and the effective development, cultivation and maintenance of each.

Presenter: Ruffin Veal III PMP (LinkedIn profile)  Principal Ruffin Veal and Associates, Inc, is an IT & PM professional whose career spans multiple industries including manufacturing, banking, retail and government.
