Managing Requirements Maturity
Presented by Ross Little, Executive Managing Partner, 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.

How to Elaborate Requirements Through Use Cases and User Stories
Presented by Dr. Marin Schedlbauer, CBAP, OCUP, Senior Trainer, Corporate Education Group
Use cases and user stories are both excellent techniques for understanding what a user needs from a product. While both have a similar purpose, use cases and user stories are not meant to be used interchangeably. That is why it’s important for a business analyst to understand the difference.
The older of the two techniques is the use case, which captures usage scenarios. In other words, a use case documents how an individual uses a product to accomplish something of value. This technique works well for projects where functional requirements and usage scenarios must be – and can be – specified upfront. However, what if you can't know the requirements upfront?
In a user story, the user and what they need the product to accomplish is also specified, but in contrast to use cases, at a much higher level.
In this webinar you will learn to:
·
Determine when to apply use cases
and user stories to define stakeholder requirements.
·
Elaborate use cases through
scenarios.
·
Augment use cases and user
stories with diagrams and visuals for better communication.

Linking business outcomes with software delivery is mission critical in today’s increasingly digital world. However, while organizations recognize that Agile and DevOps practices should drive business value, they struggle to measure it.

Almost half of organizations struggle with linking DevOps

35% of organizations have difficulty meeting industry and
compliance standards.
·

orchestrate all pre-coding activities and are able to effectively reuse
requirements and user stories across teams.
