Presentation Abstract
Why is it so critical that you are using the right
techniques to determine customer requirements?
When industry studies are done on reasons for
project failures, scope creep and poor understanding
of requirements are always at the top of the list.
This session will explore the reasons behind these
issues and look at best practices for improving
your approach to gathering project requirements.
We will look at formalized approaches to requirements
gathering and documentation as well as review different
requirements gathering techniques with their pros
and cons.
We will explore what level of detail you want
to have for your requirements and identify the
different types of stakeholders you'll want to
talk to in order to capture enough (but not too
many) requirements. The topics are consistent with
the current version of the International Institute
of Business Analysis Body of Knowledge. |
