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

Leading with Emotional Intelligence
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.
EI 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 preview offers you a powerful introduction to the
highly popular hands-on AMA seminar, Leading with Emotional
Intelligence. Our instructor will explain how the seminar uses the
F.L.I.P. Modes of Conversation as a “must have” tool for collaboration and
relationship enhancement, and gives you other powerful insights into EI.
If you want to become the consummate emotionally intelligent leader, this preview provides the perfect opportunity to hear how the AMA seminar can help you achieve your goals.

From Requirements Analyst to Benefit Analyst
Presented by Mark Monteleone, CBAP, PMP
Based on Mark Monteleone's popular article “The Elevator Speech…….for the BA”, this webinar kicks off with a business analyst meeting an executive on an elevator and being asked, “So what are you working on these days?” Unfortunately, the business analyst responds by citing solution requirements, disregarding the real interest of the executive being business benefits. Don't make the same mistake!

In this talk Dave West, CEO and Product Owner of Scrum.org talks about the roles of Scrum and how the three roles relate to your existing job titles. He describes the future of work in the context of an agile delivery model and what the implications are to job descriptions and career progression.
