Outsourcing Requirements
Discovery
Presented by Rob Stewart, Senior Consultant, IAG
Consulting
This session is for project managers that sometimes need to
contract externally for requirements discovery services in order to make their
project a success. This session shares hard facts, case studies, and a
wealth of experience in successful – and not so successful – contracting
approaches for the senior project manager. Supercharging a project by
accelerating the requirements discovery phase is a solid strategy – but how do
you ensure the company will get solid business value from the activity?
Learning
Objectives:
1. Effective analyst
engagements models that drive value
2. Red flags in your
review cycle: clear signals that you have, or will have, issues with your
requirements discovery team.

for timetable and turnaround: what should you expect from a top notch
analyst team?

Leading with Emotional
Intelligence - Free Online Session
Presented by Susan Mason, Principal at Vital Visions
Consultants
How to
Lead with Presence and Impact
Why does emotional intelligence (EI) matter? Because
at the core of every outstanding leader are the abilities to connect, achieve,
inspire and act with resilience.
Emotional intelligence has evolved from an area of
research to a recognized set of best practices and core competencies that are
at the heart of successful leadership. Today we use EI as an integrated set of
skills that underpin highly effective, fast-reacting, and innovative
organizations.
This webcast offers you a powerful introduction to the
highly popular hands-on AMA seminar, Leading with Emotional Intelligence.
To give a real sense of EI in practice, we’ll take a
deep look at how EI drives and facilitates your ability to lead
collaboration. You’ll also learn about the F.L.I.P. Modes of Conversation
as a “must have” tool for collaboration and relationship enhancement.
If you want to become the consummate emotionally
intelligent leader, this webcast is a great place to start.
What
You Will Learn
·
Emotional Intelligence: What it is and why it’s
such a critical leadership skill
·
The 4 cornerstones of EI
·
How EI underpins and facilitates 6 core leadership
competencies
·
The role EI plays in leading collaboration
·
How EI skills can help you overcome
defensiveness
·
Learn how to F.L.I.P. a conversation toward
collaboration

Waterfall to Agile — How to
Change Your Documentation Style
Presented by Terrell Smith, MPA, PMP, CBAP, Corporate
Education Group
As organizations move from a traditional waterfall
methodology to agile, a question that is often asked is, "How do I begin
to adapt from my current process documentation to an agile approach?" This
webinar will explain how you can apply agile documentation practices side by
side with traditional documentation methods. The two life-cycle methods, as
they relate to documents, will be compared and contrasted. You will receive
practical guidance for project documentation, where a blend of both traditional
waterfall and agile projects may exist. The big question to be addressed is,
"How does the documentation compare and how do I become more agile?"
This webinar will highlight and examine methods to
prepare documentation for agile projects when transitioning from waterfall to
agile, including:
·
Parallel worlds: agile and waterfall – document
comparison
·
Moving to iteration-oriented development – five
levels of agile planning
·
A deeper look at agile documentation
·
Iteration zero – what kind of documentation?
·
Agile documentation recommendations

The Who, What, When, Where,
Why of Requirements!
Presented by Jamie Champagne, Mana’olana
International, LLC
Requirements are the key aspects to successful
projects and the foundational concept of where business analysts can bring
value to an organization. When done with rigor and discipline, requirements
keep projects on scope, validate testing efforts and ensure alignment with
overall organizational strategies while ensuring value continues to be
delivered. However, managing requirements well in our constantly changing and
dynamic environments is the challenge every project manager, business analyst,
product owner and subject matter expert today faces regardless if they are
novice level and entering the analyst field or seasoned professionals managing
complex environments.
In this session we walk through practical applications of requirements analysis & design and managing requirements in the 'real world' - where strict processes and templates may not always be followed (or even created), learn tips and tricks to help keep efforts on track and moving in a positive direction even when you're not the leader or person in charge (or even get the title of Business Analyst of Requirements Manager) and while having some fun (didn't know requirements were that exciting, did you…?) !
Topics to be covered during this session are planning for requirements elicitation, elicitation techniques, traceability, testing plans, validation, approvals, tracking and even reuse. As well as there will be room for questions to bring up your own situations and challenges you face in your environments today.
