Keynote Presentation
Business Requirement Techniques for Delivering Value While Controlling ScopeOrganizations launch projects with the assumption that the new or improved solution will provide worthwhile benefits for stakeholders and a suitable return on investment. Understanding your business requirements can helpensure that your teams actually deliver those benefits. In this presentation you’ll learn how to define clear business objectives and corresponding success metrics, how to craft a focused vision statement, and how to specify other elements of the business requirements. We’ll also explore four different scope representation techniques you can apply at any stage of a project. Keeping user and functional requirements aligned with the business requirements is a key element of successful solution delivery. |
