Requirements Management: Best Practices for Enhancing Project Success
Get to the bottom of the prime reason for project failure—poor
or incomplete requirements capture and management. Geared to project managers,
business analysts, architects, developers and QA/testers, this session
highlights the benefits of structured requirements with Optimal Trace
to all stakeholders. Participants will be taken step-by-step through the
project life-cycle, receiving tips and hints on best practices in gathering
and managing requirements—ensuring that projects get on the right
track from the outset. You will learn how to resolve:
- Poor understanding of project scope amongst stakeholders.
- Problematic communication of the project—both between the customer
and PM and between PM and development/QA team.
- Dependence on “gut-feel” for project estimation.
- Over-reliance on having the right technical people involved.
- Difficulty in accurately measuring project progress, resulting in
increased risk to the project, cost over-runs, late delivery and/or
failure to deliver the system as required.
