The reactions to imminent change can vary greatly, from denial and resistance to acceptance and even excitement.

• How can you, as a leader, quickly identify how your teams are reacting, and most importantly, help them move to acceptance and adoption of the change?
• How should you deal with your own personal reaction to changes and become ready and able to lead others?

We live in an environment of perpetual change.

Today’s leader must be able to quickly understand the impact of change on the business and its people, and demonstrate the skills necessary to facilitate the implementation of change.

Sometimes we wonder how Microsoft ever came up with SharePoint. SharePoint is the perfect enterprise integration platform and Microsoft is the perfect transactional, product-focused, marketing company. It just doesn’t fit, which is the main problem surrounding the poor adoption and use of the most powerful business application on the market, SharePoint 2010.

The reality is, for a large enterprise to gain the competitive advantage and efficiencies SharePoint can provide, it must look at HOW or better yet WHO is driving adoption.

Here is why the SharePoint BA is so critical. It isn’t about governance or basic administration. Yes, those things are important, but they are the chicken before the egg. The egg is USE!!!

We are right in the middle of the transformation of power in IT systems moving from geeks to the users, because the users are becoming geeks. SharePoint is the pinnical of user enabled IT power.

This web seminar will discuss at a high level

• The vast potential real world applications for SharePoint.
• ASPE will dig into the traditional role of a business analyst
• And they will discuss what the roles and responsibilities would be for a SharePoint business analyst

The optimal goal is to provide details on how organizations can increase the use of SharePoint in the enterprise, which will save a significant amount of money and time and lead to much quicker time to market.

Experience shows that there are three main reasons for defining decision requirements as part of an overall requirements process.

1. Current requirements approaches don’t tackle the decision-making that is increasingly important in information systems;
2. While important for all software development projects, decision requirements are especially important for projects adopting business rules and advanced analytic technologies;
3. Decisions are a common language across business, IT and analytic organizations improving collaboration, increasing reuse, and easing implementation.

Learn why you should model decision requirements, how to use DMN and how to get started quickly with decision modeling in this webinar recast.

High performing companies already know that superior software estimation is not only possible, but essential to gaining and keeping a competitive edge while simultaneously helping to protect IT investments and drive positive project outcomes.

One way to enable proven best practices with the estimation discipline is to formalize an Estimation Center of Excellence (ECoE).

While most organizations have unique features and challenges, establishing such a center has certain foundational elements.

A well-thought out launch and execution can dramatically increase transparency, collaboration and value across an enterprise or division.

In this session, J.D. Ottenbreit, QSM‘s Commercial Director of Professional Services, will provide an executive level webinar to cover some of the practical steps, pitfalls and critical success factors involved with bringing to life a truly successful, sustainable ECoE.

The webinar is based on real-life lessons learned and case studies from QSM– a recognized industry leader and pioneer in the field of software estimation and control.
