Online Webinar – Recorded
Duration: 1 hr Credits: 1 PDU Category A – $12.95 USD PDU
Presented by: Solutions Cube Group (REP 2451)

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

This is the next webinar in GK’s new Weekly series “The Sales Excellence Webinar Series for Business Outcomes.”

A successful engagement with the correct stakeholders will result in a full understanding of what the vision, challenges and opportunities are, as well as confirm the current state of the organisation.

Understanding how the organisation currently looks and what it can achieve is the starting point to help the customer meet their strategic goals and objectives.

This allows an assessment of their current capabilities, which when compared to an analysis of the target state, enables a gap analysis to be carried out.

The gap in these business capabilities is the opportunity to demonstrate how to deliver solutions tailored to the customer’s needs.

The key techniques and tools covered are:

• Capability Modelling
  • Modelling services
  • Business Conceptual layer
  • Fulfilling objectives and responsibilities
• Capability Gap Analysis
  • Gap between current performance and future performance
  • Capability Gap and Complex Transformation Programmes
  • Organisational Design
