So you’ve been assigned a complex,
poorly defined project concept
So now what?

Nothing is worse (or better) for a senior project manager or analyst than being handed a project that is: strategic, very large, and way outside your comfort zone in complexity.

These projects will sometimes roll around the halls of big companies for months while they struggle to gain sufficient momentum and clarity to really move forward with a sense of purpose and direction.

• Let’s say one of these career-bruisers/-builders is yours?
• What do you do next?

This session is about the tactics of early-stage project intake and clarification – getting clarity efficiently.

Learning objectives:

1. Inside the project intake process – why is intake so dysfunctional?
2. The action plan – simple steps that drive project clarity and milestones that deliver benefit.
3. Targeted result – time tested deliverables that work

On Agile projects, requirements are susceptible to change as priorities shift and the customer or product owner discover additional needs or a new direction.

Instead of requirements being collected in one lengthy document, they are distributed in the form of user stories and epics.

In addition, the highest priorities can be condensed into a minimum viable product, or MVP, representing only what is needed to launch the product and nothing more.

Requirements gathering for Agile projects differs from other environments and carries its own challenges, including identifying all stakeholders, setting up frequent meetings, and more.

User stories, epics, MVPs, and backlog grooming are all unique features of Agile requirements gathering. How do business analysts use these features and work within Agile projects to generate requirements iteratively?

Join NK Shrivastava of RefineM & learn how to effectively gather business requirements on Agile projects. Be exposed to techniques including brainstorming, focus groups, user story splitting, and many others.

Leave the webinar ready to gather business requirements on Agile projects.

Presenter: NK Shrivastava (LinkedIn profile) PMP, PMI-RMP, PMI-ACP, CSM, SPC, is CEO of RefineM LLC and an experienced and certified Project Management Consultant, Risk Management Professional, and Agile Coach with over 25 years of experience in project management. NK is an experienced instructor/trainer on project management and Agile topics and specializes in project management fundamentals, risk management, and project recovery.

Hybrid project management has gained popularity due to its ability to effectively bridge traditional and agile methods.

A major challenge faced by many Project Managers is knowing how to effectively plan, identify, and manage risks when using a hybrid approach.

There is confusion in industry on what risk management is in a hybrid project environment.

From experience, this is driven by the lack of practical understanding of risk management basics and further compounded by confusion on how traditional and agile approaches may be successfully integrated to increase the probability of project and organizational success.

Please join Laszlo Retfalvi P.Eng. PMP PMI-RMP as he reviews the construct of hybrid projects and provides tips and techniques on how to effectively integrate risk management techniques in hybrid projects to increase project and organizational success.

This material is equally beneficial to those engaged in traditional and agile based projects.
