|
|
Synopsis: |
Project Management Offices have
become increasingly popular in the
past few years, as companies are
more than ever striving to optimize

organizations as a critical success
factor for the alignment of IT

key stakeholders. It is becoming

especially as company inevitably

organizational models.

CIOs, IT Directors and Project
Managers who want to learn more
about this important function, as
well as those executives who are
ready to establish a PMO in their
organization. Existing PMO staff
should also attend this course and
assess the current effectiveness of
their PMO activities. |

In Search of Excellent Requirements
Next scheduled
dates:
6/25/2008 - 8:30:00 AM – 6/26/2008 –
4:30:00PM
|
|
Synopsis: |
Requirements form the foundation for
all the software work that follows.
Arriving at a shared vision of the
product to be developed is one of
the greatest challenges facing the
software project team, and customer
involvement is among the most
critical factors in software
quality. The objective of this
seminar is to give attendees a tool
kit of practices, reinforced with
practice sessions and group
discussions that they can begin
applying to improve the quality of
the requirements development and
requirements management processes in
their organization.
This two-day seminar describes
dozens of tested methods that can
help any organization improve the
way it elicits, analyzes, documents,
validates, and manages software
requirements. Characteristics of
excellent requirements statements
and requirements specifications are
presented and used to evaluate some
sample functional requirements. The
seminar emphasizes many practical
techniques, including:
- Creating an effective
customer-developer partnership
- Customer involvement through
a “product champion” model
- The application of use cases
for defining user needs and
system functions
- Writing software
requirements specifications
using a standard template
- Classifying and recording
business rules that affect a
software system
- A simple model for
prioritizing requirements
- Constructing dialog maps and
other analysis models to provide
alternative views of the
requirements
- Using prototypes to clarify
and refine user needs
- Using peer reviews to find
requirements errors
- Using a requirements
traceability matrix to connect
requirements to design elements,
code, and tests
The basic concepts of
requirements management are
described, as are practical methods
for managing changes to
requirements. These techniques can
reduce project risk by improving the
quality and control of the software
requirements, thereby increasing the
likelihood of a successfully
completed project.
Audience:
This seminar will be useful to
requirements and business analysts,
project and product managers, user
representatives, software engineers,
marketers, and anyone else engaged
in gathering, documenting,
analyzing, or managing customer
requirements for software
applications.
Format:
Blend of lecture, class discussion,
group discussions on requirements
problems and solutions, and practice
sessions. Practice sessions give
attendees some experience in working
with use cases, drawing a dialog
map, reviewing a requirements
specification, writing good
requirements, and writing an action
plan to improve their group’s
requirements practices. |
