In this session, the entertaining and enlightening Kupe will be discussing Decision Making.

After this session, you will look at your role in a whole new light.  If you are one of the few that has never heard Kupe speak – it is an illuminating educational experience, a treat not to be missed!

Many organizations are faced with project execution and experience high cost overruns and challenges to deliver the anticipated value.

In working with many clients and reading study after study a root cause points to requirement issues.

It could be missing requirements, too many requirements, conflicting requirements, or multiple interpretations of the same requirement.

In the end this challenge and struggle relates to how organizations are making and communicating decisions before, during and after projects.

Decisions need to be made with the right information available at the right time.

One of your main responsibilities is to help others make better decisions, and to make decisions yourself. If decisions are not made during a project nothing can get accomplished.

Easier said than done right?

Making a decision, especially when there isn’t consensus can be interesting to say the least.

However, there are tools that can be used to help facilitate decision making – tools that will lead you and the team to the right decision.

Course Learning Objectives Include:

• The Importance of Decision Making to increase the success of projects
• When you need to make decisions and the tools to help make them
• How you help others make decisions

With the Course You Will Receive:

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

Is Business Analysis the Cornerstone of Successful Projects?

A major source of project failure is incomplete, inaccurate, and misunderstood requirements.

In a nutshell, if you don’t identify the “right” requirements for a project, problems will be magnified at every other step of the process.

The bottom line is that nailing down requirements for your initiatives is a high-stakes activity, even more so during a recession where every penny counts.

Faced with conflicting requests from customers, users, partners, competitors, and regulators; the role of the business analyst to define and prioritize requirements, foresee related impacts, and create actionable plans is critical.

In this Webcast, you’ll find out about the due diligence needed to keep projects on track using the tools of business analysis.

Whether you’re an experienced project manager or are just starting out, this program will help fine tune your understanding the basics of requirements management.

Learn:

• Leading causes of project failure and what you can do to minimize the risks
• How business analysis is the key to trimming project costs
• Ways to turn unrealistic expectations into realistic features
• Using BABOK to improve your requirements development
• How business analysis differs from project management
• And much more.

In this Introduction to Business Analysis demo session, you will learn the fundamentals of business analysis discipline, role of a business analyst, how our training program is structured and most importantly how Requirements Wizard can help you transform your career into a successful business analyst role.

In today’s competitive environment, business analyst’s role is no longer of simply ‘A bridge between Business and IT’. T

here has been a paradigm shift in the role of business analyst in recent years.

In today’s resource scare environment, customers expect business analyst to have knowledge and skills to conduct enterprise analysis, perform end-to-end business processes re-engineering, identify bottlenecks in their value streams, and most importantly develop solutions that would solve their problems and integrate their vision-strategy-technology towards a common organizational goal.

Requirements elicitation and documenting them is a very small subset of a modern day business analyst’s role.

This course has been specifically designed keeping in mind the expectations customers have from a seasoned business analyst.

In addition to the business analysis skills, project management skills are equally vital for a business analyst. Since the natural career trajectory of a business analyst curve towards project management discipline, this course has included key topics of project management as well, which in a ‘real-world’ scenario, any experienced business analyst must be familiar with.

Note: This session is designed for any individual with IT/Non-IT background who aspires to make their career in business analysis discipline.
