One of the Most Difficult Phases of a Project is
Eliciting Requirements From Stakeholders

Under the best circumstances requirements are often vague, conflicting, and in flux. Even when key stakeholders are involved in the requirements process, they are not always fully engaged.

Personal agendas, fear of change, and comfort with the way things have always been done can create a climate of apathy and mistrust, all of which make identifying the true needs difficult.

When the business customers and project team have a relationship built on trust, however, they can more quickly work together to build a solution to meet the business need.

This lively presentation focuses on the causes of mistrust and presents practical solutions for gaining and maintaining stakeholder trust.

This webinar clearly presents a case to consider BA4BI as a somewhat special discipline, differing from classical application development tracks. It also presents compelling arguments for analysts to go further than gathering requirements.

The goal is to initiate or improve the strategic dialogue in the organization and by doing so improve the strategy process.

Are You using SharePoint for PPM?

SharePoint has features that can be used for a basic PPM structure but it’s difficult to get views of the progress, health, and risk level of a single project, or of the projects in an entire portfolio.

This webcast will explain and demonstrate how SharePoint can easily be extended with reporting capabilities to:

• Manage projects with simple KPIs
• Manage medium sized projects with metrics
• Get metrics from Microsoft Project into SharePoint
• Manage across a portfolio of projects with metrics
• Add periodic status reports and personal reports

Join Microsoft Project & Certified Project & Portfolio Management (PPM) Silver Partner, BrightWork for a series of education webcasts and Hands on Learning labs (HOL).

Presenter: Éamonn McGuinness (LinkedIn profile) CEO BrightWork has been involved in the development of commercial software products on Lotus Notes, Microsoft Exchange 2000 webstore, SharePoint 2001, SharePoint 2003, SharePoint 2007 and now SharePoint 2010, with the same basic product mission (process driven project management).
