Improving organizational Requirements Maturity is a strategic approach to improving project success and aligning IT with the business to meet objectives on time and on budget consistently.

According to the recent IAG BA Benchmark study of 437 large and medium organizations in North America and Europe, the organizational level of Requirements Maturity is directly proportional to the likelihood of project success.

Companies invest millions of dollars in recruitment, hiring, and training of Business Analysts every year without a detailed understanding of the role and how to integrate into the enterprise; the average Requirements Maturity level in North America is only 1.8 on a scale of 1-5, and only a fraction of those measured qualified at a level 3 or higher.

For individual and organizations that are serious about improving in a consistent and measurable way, IAG will explain the key concepts and results you can expect by improving organizational Requirements Maturity

Learning Objectives:

1. The impact of requirements maturity on overall business and project objectives.
2. The Requirements Maturity Model.
3. A high level roadmap to improving requirements capabilities.

Joy Beatty will briefly describe how to define requirements for selecting a requirements management tool.

Joy also discusses how to define a requirements architecture for your requirements methodology and organization.

Finally, Joy Beatty suggest sways to overcome common road blocks of implementing a requirements management tool once selected – including dealing with tool limitations and user adoption challenges.

Learning Objectives:

1. Understand the level of requirements needed to select and implement a requirements management tool
2. How to design a requirements architecture that works within the tool and your methodology
3. How to effectively adopt a requirements management tool within your team by eliminating common challenges
