How important are effective business requirements? Studies have shown that at least most product defects originate in the requirements. And rework on a development project can be traced back to requirement defects. In fact, the most recent version of PMBOK (Project Management Body of Knowledge), version 4, and all of BABOK (Business Analysis Body of Knowledge) emphasize the vital value and importance of Requirements to enable success.
These days, every system dollar is scrutinized and squeezed. One of the greatest improvement opportunities for an IT organization is to define requirements correctly yet productively.
Irrespective of the development methodology, business requirements must clearly define what the system is supposed to do. This 3-day seminar addresses a broad range of business analysis skills that will help you extract the right information from the business users, maximize your requirements gathering productively and create requirements to support the design, development, testing, and deployment of successful system solutions.
