Part 1: A High Quality Requirements Model

Abstract: This WEBinar series shows a 6-step process for gathering, analyzing, and checking business requirements in a more defect free way.  

This particular WEBinar describes prerequisites and challenges in gathering requirements, and gives an overview of the 6-step process.

Part 1: A High Quality Requirements Model

  • Explains prerequisites and challenges associated with traditional requirements gathering
  • Provides an overview of the 6 step model

How often have you heard, "I'll know it when I see it."? This WEBinar concentrates 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. 

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!
