Requirements Gathering 4-part Series
How often have you
heard, "I'll know it when I see it"?
These WEBinars
concentrate on a process model of
requirements gathering. Many of us are tired of implementing wants rather than
needs, working with opinions rather than facts, and proposed solutions
rather than real issues identified through problem identification.
Statistically, the distribution of requirements defects is
as follows: 10% extra requirements,
30% incorrect requirements, and 60% missing requirements. This
WEBinar will introduce a process to eliminate these
defects.
Requirements defects affect projects of every type:
manufacturing, building, health care, customer service, and
software. In software alone, over half of defects found
result from poor requirements.
"There's no sense being exact about
something if you don't even know what you're talking about. "
-- John von Neumann
The focus is a six (6) step
requirements gathering
process useful for end users, business
analysts, and developers. The model's structure automatically assures mission-based, needs-based requirements
that are not solutions-driven and so thorough as to not miss
any requirements. Background for the
structure, and explanation of the steps will be included.
Here is a chart that explains the phase, deliverable and
tools of each of the six steps. Join us!
