Requirements elicitation is the process of seeking, uncovering, acquiring, and elaborating requirements for business systems. It is generally understood that requirements are elicited rather than just captured or collected.

There are discovery, emergence, and development elements to the elicitation process. Requirements elicitation consists of a variety of techniques, approaches, and tools.

This webinar shares 10 steps to effective requirements elicitation, guiding business analysts to deliver successful results.

Requirements elicitation is all about learning and understanding the needs of users and project sponsors with the ultimate aim of communicating these needs to the system developers.

Learning objectives include:

• Understand the application domain
• Identify the sources of requirements and analyze the stakeholders
• Select the techniques, approaches, and tools to use
• Prepare to use the selected elicitation techniques
• Document your approach and create a “strawman” to generate the right conversation
• Send input material to participants in advance with clearly defined objectives for the specific elicitation events
• Elicit the requirements from stakeholders and other sources
• Assign a scribe for note taking and use a whiteboard or a smart screen to document the requirements
• Use a standardized requirements document template
• Continue to re-validate the requirements until they are clear and can be acted upon by those who read them – business stakeholders AND implementers

This webinar answers the question, “How detailed should detailed requirements be?” The good news is that there should not be a lot of detailed requirement statements.

The better news is that there are generic structures that can be utilized for recording requirement details – those structures supported by spreadsheets or extended requirements management tools.

This webinar will cover topics such as:

• Capturing capability-specific NFR operational detail
• The importance of detailed mock-ups for a UI or Report capability
• Business-friendly Data Hierarchy Diagrams
• Capturing requirement detail in structures rather than text
• How to organize element-level detail within a meaningful business group

(IIST – Rep 4514) – A Rommana Webinar

Whether your project is agile or not, it is critical that you practice good requirement and/or user story management.

Requirements and user stories do not just exist by themselves. Instead, they are linked to other artifacts such as test cases and test sets, scenarios and/or acceptance criteria, code and design components, tasks, risks, and actions.

Requirements and user stories also change during the course of a project and over the lifecycle of an application. Some requirements or user stories originate from user requests, some evolve from bug reports or issues, and some are even enhancements to existing functionalities.

A good requirement/user story management tool must support all these aspects of features.

In this webinar Magdy Hanna will demonstrate how the requirement / user story component of Rommana ALM supports all these aspects and more.

The intent is to help you understand true requirement and user story management so that you can make an informed decision regarding tool selection and tool adoption.

If you are already using a tool to manage your requirements and/or user stories, this webinar should help you customize your tool to support all these aspects.

Presenter: Dr. Magdy Hanna PhD (LinkedIn profile) is a recognized educator, speaker and consultant in several areas of software engineering. His highly rated seminars in various topics over the last thirty-five years have spanned various aspects and capacities of software projects and processes.

He has trained over 50,000 professionals around the world over the last 20 years. As a professor of Software Engineering at the University of St. Thomas , he taught graduate courses on several software engineering topics with emphasis on practical software quality techniques.
