Organizations launch projects with the assumption that the new or improved solution will provide worthwhile benefits for stakeholders and a suitable return on investment.

Joy will also explore four different scope representation techniques you can apply at any phase of a project.

Topics covered include:

  1. Business objectives and success metrics
  2. Scope control using business objectives
  3. Vision statements
  4. Context Diagrams, Ecosystem Maps, Feature Trees, and Event Lists

In this webinar you’ll learn how to define clear business objectives and corresponding success metrics, how to craft a focused vision statement, and how to specify other elements of the business requirements.

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.
