                   Requirements Gathering 4-part Series   
                   How often have you
                  heard, "I'll know it when I see it"?   
                  These WEBinars
                  concentrate on a process model of
                  requirements gathering. Many of us are tired of implementing wants rather than
                  needs, working with opinions rather than facts, and proposed solutions
                  rather than real issues identified through problem identification. 
                   Statistically, the distribution of requirements defects is
                  as follows: 10% extra requirements,
                  30% incorrect requirements, and 60% missing requirements. This
                  WEBinar will introduce a process to eliminate these
                  defects.   
                   Requirements defects affect projects of every type:
                  manufacturing, building, health care, customer service, and
                  software.  In software alone, over half of defects found
                  result from poor requirements. 
                  "There's no sense being exact about
                  something if you don't even know what you're talking about. " 
                  -- John von Neumann 
                  The focus is a six (6) step
                  requirements gathering 
 process useful for end users, business
                  analysts, and developers. The model's structure automatically assures mission-based, needs-based requirements
                  that are not solutions-driven and so thorough as to not miss
                  any requirements. Background for the
                  structure, and explanation of the steps will be included.  
                  Here is a  chart that explains the phase, deliverable and
                  tools of each of the six steps. Join us!
