In this webinar, Rob will review best practices in organizing how to break requirements into topics for elicitation for a particular project.

While there are many ways to extract requirements such as individual interviews, job shadowing, facilitated requirements workshops, surveys, reviewing existing documentation, etc., this webinar focuses on identifying what you need to achieve when you employ those various elicitation techniques.

For example, it would be ineffective to just starting asking:

• “What are your requirements for the new system”
• ….. And then start a long list of ideas all over the continuum.

You need to identify a strategy:

• What’s in/out of scope?
• What are the functions?
• Or what are the use cases?
• Or what processes are we automating/improving?

Consider these situations:

• Requirements for new product,
• Requirements for a data warehouse for reporting,
• Requirements to improve a website for customers doing online ordering,
• Requirements for new capabilities for an existing system,
• Requirements for a system to replace an existing system, etc.
• Who are the SMEs for these various topics?
• What can I do to maximize getting unambiguous requirements once I’ve identified the SMEs?

This webinar addresses these and other issues.
