Presented by Doug McGouldrick, Sr. VP, Professional Services, IAG Consulting
Improving organizational Requirements Maturity is a strategic approach to improving project success and aligning IT with the business to meet objectives on time and on budget consistently.
According to the recent IAG BA Benchmark study of 437 large and medium organizations in North America and Europe, the organizational level of Requirements Maturity is directly proportional to the likelihood of project success. Companies invest millions of dollars in recruitment, hiring, and training of Business Analysts every year without a detailed understanding of the role and how to integrate into the enterprise; the average Requirements Maturity level in North America is only 1.8 on a scale of 1-5, and only a fraction of those measured qualified at a level 3 or higher. For individual and organizations that are serious about improving in a consistent and measureable way, IAG will explain the key concepts and results you can expect by improving organizational Requirements Maturity
Learning Objectives:
1.
The impact of requirements maturity on overall business and
project objectives.
2.
The Requirements Maturity Model.
3.
A high level roadmap to improving requirements capabilities.

Get Ready for Agile Learning and Development
Presented by Jon Younger, Founder at Agile Talent Collaborative
The Imperative for Agility in Learning and Development
With organizations using more part-time, project-based freelancers to supplement the work of permanent staff, learning and development (L&D) is going to have to be just as agile as the workforce — where speed, flexibility, and innovation are critical.
While global investment in learning and development
continues to grow by double digits, the focus of that spending is shifting.
What this means is that more learning will happen in teams, and on platforms
where training can be delivered any time, any place, at the user’s convenience.
Join this webcast to explore how L&D is changing to meet
the needs of today’s organizations and their increasingly agile workforce.
What You Will Learn
You’ll hear examples which illustrate new and different approaches to workplace learning, including:
· How
technology-supported peer learning is disrupting the old paradigm
· Ways that L&D
is being transformed and reinvented with:
o
Focused micro-learning
o
Personalized learning via chapterships
o
Technology enabled expert/peer learning
o
Project-based action learning
o
Co-opetition: more partnership in shared learning
o
The rise of agile mentorships
· How forward-facing
companies are connecting L&D to strategy and driving business results
· Ways analytics can
be used to shape L&D priorities

Business Value is a Conversation, Not a Number
Presented by Kupe Kupersmith, CBAP, President at B2T Training
Teams often talk a great deal about how projects need to deliver “business value”, but what does that really mean? The true use of business value in projects is to determine what to deliver and in what order. Teams may try to quantify their business value but that activity may be entirely unnecessary.
This session describes a set of techniques that teams use to guide their conversations to determine if they are building the right thing in the right order to solve a problem that is worth solving. We will also discuss how the conversation ends in decisions about how to proceed and the metrics that demonstrate the value is delivered.
Session Objectives:
· Determine whether
a need is worth satisfying
· Figure out how
unique your solution needs to be
· How to use goals
and objectives to figure out the right thing to build
