2-day Workshop
Managing Software Requirements
   
               
               
   

We present a comprehensive case-study driven interactive Workshop covering practical methods and techniques to Anticipate, Elicit, Evolve, Analyze, Elaborate, Validate and Document Customer Requirements in a Software Development Scenario.

Context Analysis, Conducting a JAD Workshop with Stakeholders,  Using Metaphors for Elicitation,  Discovering Usage and Misusage Scenarios,  Competitive Product Analysis and Benchmarking,  Ethnography based Requirements Anticipation,  FABBING Theory  (Features-Advantages-Benefits Mapping),  KANO Model Analysis for understanding Customer Expectations,  VOLERE Model for Requirements Analysis,  Voice of Customer QFD Model for Requirements Prioritization and SCENE-IC Model based methods for anticipating Implicit Needs,  will be some of the techniques covered in the workshop with hands-on exercises and simulated group assignments.

Co-creating Software Requirements Collaboratively with Customers,  has proven to be the most effective strategy in Agile Methodologies to deliver rich Customer Experience and Stakeholder Delight, faster, cheaper and better, right the first time, every time.  We will cover a special session on creating effective stories for Agile Requirements.
