Business Management Guru Peter Druker’s Coined The Phrase,
“Culture Eats Strategy For Breakfast.”

You need a good strategy to navigate the ever-changing landscape and get to great destinations. Strategy is the roadmap, and the people are the engine.

How people feel about their jobs, each other, and your strategy can make or break it before you even start your journey.

When people are motivated and steering toward your goals, great things are possible.

If the culture is full of inhibiting factors, it puts the brakes on your movement that even the best strategies can’t overcome. That is why Peter Druker’s insightful comment applies, “Culture eats strategy for breakfast.”

  • Understand how to integrate strategy and culture to create true synergy.
  • Strategy is the roadmap and the people are the engine – learn to rev up the people to traverse the strategy.
  • Ensure your change is not one of the 70% of strategic initiatives that fail due to misalignment with culture.

Live Webinar November 29th 2018 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm EST
Activity Type: Education – Course or Training  1 Hour  1 PDU free
Provider:  Modern Analyst

In this webinar, Mark Monteleone describes and compares functional and nonfunctional requirements and how to document them using declaratives, user stories, and use cases in the context of software applications.

Mark starts the webinar by briefly reviewing the source of business needs; enterprise analysis.

He lists four requirement levels:

  • Business; needs that are required to compete or be in compliance
  • Stakeholder; what stakeholder capabilities are needed to realize business needs
  • Solution; what product or service requirements are needed to provide stakeholder capabilities and under what conditions are the capabilities effective and efficient
  • Transition; what product or service requirements are needed to ensure a smooth change in implementing the new capabilities.

With that quick background, Mark focuses the webinar by further decomposing solution requirements into functional capabilities and nonfunctional conditions and formally defines the word requirement.

Mark highlights how these requirements are documented by business analysts using:

  • Action Verbs for functional requirements with references to business rules, and
  • Adjectives and nouns for nonfunctional requirements with embedded metrics.

Mark then shows how functional and nonfunctional requirements are documented using declaratives, user stories, and use cases.

To ensure clarity, he wraps-up the webinar by providing several examples of functional capabilities paired with nonfunctional conditions using the above techniques.

Presenter: Mark Monteleone, (BA Times bio) CBAP, PMP  an independent consultant and author of The 20 Minute Business Analyst: a collection of short articles, humorous stories, and quick reference cards for the busy analyst  Mark has also written several articles in Modern Analyst, BA Times, BA Connection, International Association of Facilitators (IAF), and Global Flipchart. Mark also instructs courses on business analysis and project management plus consults on business applications and projects in more than 35 countries.
