Summary

So, you’ve elicited requirements and user stories – the good, the bad, the ugly. How do you go from a mixed bag of requirements information to feasibly design options and a recommended solution? What is the process for taking requirements information and making the information useful for approval and implementation?
Come join Nancy Beatson and Emily Tom for a hands-on virtual workshop to learn how to address these perplexing questions.  Nancy and Emily will take you through the key concepts of effective requirements analysis and design definition and will show you how you can work with requirements to achieve clarity and alignment with your stakeholders, ultimately to find the best solution to meet their needs.

Workshop Overview  

Requirements are a key component of the business analyst’s job. In order to transform the information gathered during requirements elicitation activities into usable requirements that could lead to viable solutions, the business analyst will iteratively and repetitively analyze requirements.  Performing these tasks in a thorough manner is essential to ensuring that a suitable solution can be selected and that the solution delivers value for the right requirements. 
In this workshop we will look at the Requirements Analysis and Design Definition knowledge area of the Business Analysis Body of Knowledge^® (BABOK^®) in both plan-driven and change-driven contexts. This workshop includes group exercises to let you put the theory into practice, all while learning some useful techniques.
By attending this workshop, you will:

• recognize the various modelling formats used to specify and model requirements and designs
• be able to identify which modelling technique is appropriate for refining and synthesize specific types of elicitation information
• understand the qualities of effective requirements and the importance of having high-quality requirements
• practise transforming raw, elicited requirements into good requirements that can be used to identify solutions that deliver value
• learn how to verify requirements to ensure that design options meeting stakeholders’ business requirements can be identified
