Poor requirements lead to failed projects. There is solid evidence that visualization of requirements result in higher quality results. Engaging stakeholders by the use of a variety of modeling techniques results in much higher quality requirements and greatly improved project results.

In this webinar, you will gain insight into a wide array of modeling tools that assist in more effectively documenting customer requirements. You will gain an understanding of how these tools can effectively improve the communication with your clients.

Examples of modeling tools will be overviewed, including: context diagrams, use cases, activity diagrams, screen flows and prototypes. This allows a business analyst to connect the dots when documenting requirements.

Learning objectives include:

• Understand the value of creating a context diagram at the beginning of the project
• Learn how to derive use cases from the context diagram to document functional requirements
• Increase the effectiveness of process documentation by developing activity diagrams
• Learn how to create screen flows and use prototyping for improved usability
• Understand how these modeling techniques come together to provide a true picture of requirements
