Product delivery teams get caught in traps that prevent them from effectively eliciting, documenting, or managing requirements. It is no wonder they often get out of sync on what they are supposed to build and why. How confident are you that everyone is in sync?

Learn from Jama Software and Karl Wiegers, the renowned author and speaker on requirements management, as he shares symptoms that you might be getting caught in a requirements trap, along with suggestions for avoiding and escaping the trap. Avoiding such traps will create more effective engagement across the entire organization and help your teams deliver successful projects.

The traps discussed in this webinar include:

• Inadequate stakeholder involvement
• Vague and ambiguous requirements
• Analysis paralysis
• Scope creep
• Ineffective change process
• Ineffective change process
• Poor version control

Over the years I’ve found that many software organizations struggle with the same issues when it comes to requirements. Such troublesome topics include:

• how to define project scope;
• the connection between use cases and functional requirements;
• distinguishing requirements from design; and…
• how to use requirements management tools effectively.

Some of the questions I’m asked repeatedly don’t have simple answers.

– Karl Wiegers

This presentation addresses six such common traps when collaborating on requirements.

Presenter: Karl E. Wiegers (LinkedIn profile) Principal Consultant Process Impact has provided training and consulting services worldwide on many aspects of software development, management and process improvement.

Karl is the author of many books including:

• Practical Project Initiation: A Handbook with Tools (Best Practices)
  
• Creating a Software Engineering Culture,
• Peer Reviews in Software: A Practical Guide
• Software Requirements
• More About Software Requirements: Thorny Issues and Practical Advice

Business Analyst Helps Business Define
The Value Of Any Given Solution

IIBA Experts n will explore the role of business Requirements and Design. This session will expand the view of design from the traditional information technology perspective.

The panelists will discuss the concept that requirements not only represent the business need but are in fact the design of a solution. Share your thoughts and come with questions for our panelists. When you leave you may just have a different perspective on the role of requirements.

The BABOK^® Guide is the foundation of the business analysis profession, and the starting point for a business analysis career – but it’s not the whole story. In the years since IIBA published version 2, the Business Analysis community has discovered many important implications to the knowledge collected in the book. Many of these realizations are integrated into a new model for understanding the BABOK^® Guide, called the Business Analyst Core Concept Model^â„¢ (BACCM).

Each episode will bring together different thought leaders from the Business Analysis community, to explore some aspect of Business Analysis, and to provide advice to practicing BAs. Each hour-long show will begin with a presentation and discussion of some aspect of the BABOK® Guide, followed about 30 minutes of Q&A from the audience.
