(IIST – Rep 4514) – A Rommana ALM 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 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.

Life science projects like pharmaceuticals take an average 12 years, billions of £ and only one in 250 drugs successfully reach the market. There is enormous waste in the process, yet the industry does not make use of the mountains of project data to gain insights to improve project performance.

There are calls from the Pharma Project Management profession to consider setting up a Pharmaceuticals Data Trust to provide the “big data” to gain new insights to the success factors, improve decision making, automate repetition, and deliver transformation leading to cost reduction, less waste, increased certainty of delivery, value generation, enhanced productivity, and shareholder value.

To drive the change required against the status quo is ambitious; to overcome the inertia, give direction to ensure the changes are genuinely for the better, and garner an industry led approach around a common purpose. We need to work together to develop the vision, roadmaps and provide thought leadership for project data analytics as an industry.

Sophie Newbould, (LinkedIn profile) lead advisor and negotiator on data, digital & technology (DDaT) projects for Government and regulated markets for the legal profession and large organisations such as HM Government, will provide the PIPMG attendees with a practical overview of how to approach gathering requirements that enable the capability transformation that the project management professions is very much looking to adopt.

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
