This webinar is the Third in a 3 part series series on Requirements Definition by Solutions Cube.  Although this module is a part of the series – each module in the series can be taken individually.

In many companies, the Requirements Definition process fails to define the “real” business need for a project and solutions are often defined before knowing what they need to satisfy.

On some projects, solutions may have already been defined and the team is just looking for “the right” project to implement them on.

Only Project Solutions with clear ties to documented business requirements are in scope for a project.

Project failure increases when teams spend resources on developing and implementing solutions that are out of scope for a project or address the project needs in unexpected or undesired ways.

Solutions Cube Group’s Defining Technical Requirements webinar will enable participants to learn techniques for creating traceable project solutions to meet the true business needs of the project..

Attendees will learn how to define the architectural framework for the project solution first and then use this knowledge to draw out detail technical statements.

Participants will also learn how to ensure the solutions they intend to build are clear and understood by both business and technical stakeholders and are not just “great ideas” that may be out of scope for the project.

In this 1 hour in-depth webinar participants learn:

• Techniques for defining Technical Approaches at the beginning of the solutions activity
• Assessment techniques to select the appropriate Technical Approach for the project
• How to create traceability between technical requirement statements and business requirements
• How to use a Systems list to ensure important technical requirements are documented for the project
• How to ensure the business project stakeholders are aligned on the solution being proposed prior to starting lower level detail design work
• Specific techniques that can be immediately applied in their work environment

This webinar is Second in a 3 part series series on Requirements Definition by Solutions Cube.  Although this module is a part of the series – each module in the series can be taken individually.

In many companies, the Requirements Definition process fails to define the “real” business need for a project and solutions are often defined before knowing what they need to satisfy.

Business Requirements that are defined are often unclear leaving ample room for guess work and misinterpretation by the team members responsible for providing the project solution.

The Business Requirements document must be clear and complete and specific to the underlying business needs of the project without regard for solutions.

Solutions Cube Group’s Defining Clear and Complete Business Requirements webinar teaches participants how to differentiate between types of requirements and levels of requirement definition.

Our instructors describe and demonstrate the use of collaborative JAD techniques to lead the project stakeholders through activities to fully document the project needs.

Participants learn techniques to steer stakeholders away from describing their needs as solutions which are premature to discuss and often out of line or limiting for the project.

In this 1 hour in-depth webinar participants learn:

• How to clearly differentiate between “What” and “How” when creating project requirements
• How ensure their requirements document encompasses all types of requirements including functional, supporting and interface needs
• Techniques for documenting high level business requirement statements
• Techniques for drilling requirements down to detail level statements without stating solutions
• Questioning techniques to uncover true business need

This webinar is First in a 3 part series series on Requirements Definition by Solutions Cube.  Although this module is a part of the series – each module in the series can be taken individually.

In many companies, the Requirements Definition process fails to define the “REAL” Business Need for a project.

What may appear to be a great solutions are often developed without any tie to the real project needs. Unfortunately, the discovery of missing, out of scope, or poorly defined requirements often happens much too late in the project lifecycle leading to project failure.

Avoiding these costly mistakes requires a clear understanding of the requirements definition process and the right tools and techniques to define complete requirements for a project.

Solutions Cube Group’s Building the Foundation for Clear Requirements webinar enables participants to recognize the barriers preventing project teams from defining clear requirements.

Participants will learn how to create a requirements definition foundation that engages the right stakeholders, alignment on the project scope and progressive elaboration techniques for maintaining the right level of focus throughout the requirements definition lifecycle.

In this 1 hour in-depth webinar participants learn:

• How to use the Project Scope Statement deliverables to guide the team’s creation of “real” project need and project solution statements
• How to use collaborative techniques to lead team members through requirements creation activities
• How to use the Wave Concept to progressively build requirements using collaborative techniques
• Techniques for ensuring the Requirements Definition efforts are on the right track, from the onset of the project
