This is an interactive webinar to help you get more done without getting busier or burnt out.

So whether you’ve been furloughed, are busy juggling kids and work, or just want some productivity tips, you can move forward productively and decisively.

Does this sound familiar?

• The important job you need to do ASAP, but whenever you start it, you get distracted by other things.
• The clear day you thought you had, enabling you to catch up, but your phone kept pinging, the emails poured in and you fell further behind.
• The barrage of demands which besiege you every day, juggling kids, juggling work and other people’s expectations … and the future is SO uncertain. No wonder you can’t think straight.

Most of us already know that in order to be productive, we need to break our goals into smaller, actionable chunks, drink more water, and improve our social media habits.

But for all that we know about being productive, procrastination is worse than it has ever been in modern society, and according to research, the average person still watches over 20 hours of TV each week, checks his/her phone over 100 times per day, yet complains about feeling stressed, most often due to workload!

Kick procrastination in the pants is a transformational workshop to help people improve their habits and decision making, so they achieve exactly what they want, but without sacrificing their most precious things.

You will learn how to:

• Overcome procrastination once and for all using a powerful 3-step strategy.
• Master your self-discipline with just one simple change of habit: no more faffing about or working in ‘snail’ mode!
• Eliminate 4 hidden habits, which drain 2 hours of your time every day
• Overcome your Covid-19 procrastination sagas, so regardless of external events, you’re productive and proactive.

Key Message: Requirements Engineering (RE) skills are massively underestimated in many projects

• Today, software development must cope with multiple challenges:Increased complexity of system and environment
• New competitors that arrive in the digital market space
• Limited time-to-market for new products
• Stretched IT/ project budgets

Consequently, companies may switch to adaptive/agile approaches to address these challenges.

In the transformation phase from plan-driven to adaptive/agile approaches, they are often tempted to save time and effort when it comes to requirements elicitation, analysis and documentation.This often results in software that does not meet user expectations at all.

The reasons are unclear requirements at all stages of development:

• Designers and developers who do not know the actual needs and requirements
• Testers who cannot validate the solution due to missing requirements
• Product owners who have lost the overview of existing software capabilities

Even in an adaptive/agile world, requirements still need to be elicited, understood, documented, consolidated and managed – though perhaps to a lesser extent than in classical, plan-driven approaches.

When attending the webinar, you will:

• Understand the fundamental principles of RE.
• Learn how RE makes the difference in your projects.
• Learn how to find the best fitting RE approach for your project setup.
