Have you heard of IKIWISI before?

It stands for “I’LL KNOW IT WHEN I SEE IT” 🙂

Customers don’t really know what they want and simply asking them to tell you won’t help. That is why Agile advocates using visual modeling techniques to engage your customer in ‘visioning’ what they really want.

Come learn some of the top Agile Modeling and Visualization techniques you can use to help your customers communicate their vision and reach deeper knowledge of their desired outcomes.

New to Agile? Please watch this Overview of the Agile Lifecycle video before this session.

Would You Like To Be More Effective As A Communicator?

Perhaps you could be known for being a great collaborator who gets results?

Whether you are a team member or a project manager, you can learn how to engage project stakeholders effectively to inspire collaboration that propels action and gets results.

To get on the same page, you must first identify how people hear and respond to you, and what they need from you for successful communication to occur.

You must also identify what motivates project team members and be able to recognize the patterns that sabotage collaboration. The speakers will identify and explain the foundations for effective collaboration to help you develop collaboration skills.

Featured Sponsor : Jama

Product delivery teams get caught in traps that prevent them from effectively eliciting, documenting, or managing requirements. It is no wonder they often get out of sync on what they are supposed to build and why. How confident are you that everyone is in sync?

Learn from Jama Software and Karl Wiegers, the renowned author and speaker on requirements management, as he shares symptoms that you might be getting caught in a requirements trap, along with suggestions for avoiding and escaping the trap. Avoiding such traps will create more effective engagement across the entire organization and help your teams deliver successful projects.

The traps discussed in this webinar include:

  • Inadequate stakeholder involvement
  • Vague and ambiguous requirements
  • Analysis paralysis
  • Scope creep
  • Ineffective change process
  • Ineffective change process
  • Poor version control

Over the years I’ve found that many software organizations struggle with the same issues when it comes to requirements. Such troublesome topics include:

  • how to define project scope;
  • the connection between use cases and functional requirements;
  • distinguishing requirements from design; and…
  • how to use requirements management tools effectively.

Some of the questions I’m asked repeatedly don’t have simple answers.

– Karl Wiegers

This presentation addresses six such common traps when collaborating on requirements.

Duration 1 hour 1 PDU or 1 CDU 1 Cat A Free

So you’ve been assigned a complex, poorly defined project concept… now what?

Nothing is worse (or better) for a senior project manager or analyst than being handed a project that is: strategic, very large, and way outside your comfort zone in complexity. These projects will sometimes roll around the halls of big companies for months while they struggle to gain sufficient momentum and clarity to really move forward with a sense of purpose and direction.

Let’s say one of these career-bruisers/builders is yours? What do you do next?

This session is about the tactics of early-stage project intake and clarification – getting clarity efficiently.

Learning objectives:

  1. Inside the project intake process – why is intake so dysfunctional?
  2. The action plan – simple steps that drive project clarity and milestones that deliver benefit.
  3. Targeted result – time tested deliverables that work
