Presented by Ric Lee, Davisbase Consulting
To an untrained eye, an Agile Team Room can look like chaos, however, to
the trained eye, an Agile Team Room is a integrated set of Information
Radiators that transparently communicate project details, insulate the team
from distractions, and support an environment for continuous collaboration. If
you attended last month’s web seminar, "Options for Illustrating &
Documenting the Five Levels of Planning," then you got exposure to the
different types of information radiators that can be used to communicate details
about the scope of work an Agile Team has taken on.

Requirements: The Old Way and The New Way
Presented by John Parker, CEO of Enfocus Solutions
The vast majority of organizations are using archaic
methods to develop requirements based on methods from the 1970s and early
1980s. With the dynamic pace of business change, organizations that
continue to use these practices have continued to see a significant amount of
challenged and failed projects and have placed their organizations at a
competitive disadvantage. In fact, even with the recent emphasis on project
management practices and certification, Standish Group research shows that
there are more failed and challenged projects than there was in their original
1994 report when waterfall and traditional requirement practices are used.

Requirements Reuse: Fantasy or Feasible?
Presented by Karl Wiegers, Process Impact @KarlWiegers
Reuse is an eternal
goal for organizations seeking higher software capability. Reusing requirements
can increase productivity, improve quality, and lead to greater consistency
between related systems. But effective reuse is hard! This presentation, based
on the recent book Software Requirements, 3rd Edition by Karl Wiegers and Joy
Beatty, offers numerous suggestions about how to perform requirements reuse. It
describes several kinds of requirements reuse, identifies some classes of
requirements information that have reuse potential in various contexts, and
presents some issues around making requirements reusable. The presentation
concludes by identifying both barriers to effective reuse and success factors
that can help your organization leverage its existing body of requirements
knowledge.

Critical Thinking Skills: A Practical Guide to Structured
Analytics Techniques
Presented by Dave Caccarmo, PMP, CSM, PMI-ACP, ASPE
Training
Leaders often proceed under the mistaken belief that as organizational or
technical experts, they can simply think their way through difficult problems.
Yet experimental evidence has time and again illustrated that so-called experts
often do no better than non-experts in such analytical situations. The Critical
Thinking Skills course is focused on providing practitioners with both the whys
and hows of proper analytical techniques. It provides a detailed presentation
of the ways in which practitioners may consider alternatives and challenge
assumptions, all the while illustrating how evidence-based techniques can
greatly improve judgmental forecasting and decision making in any type of
organization.
