How to Estimate Early in a Project - I+II
: a How long will it take you?a is one of the scariest questions that business analysts have to answer. This question is always posed before you know what you are going to have to do to define the requirements. You have not yet done the analysis upon which to base your answer. Given that uncertainty, it is no wonder that whatever answer you come up with will be wrong, leading to a missed delivery date and unhappy customers.
This workshop introduces methods that improve early estimates and the communication of the factors that affect them. We cover foundation approaches for state-of-the-practice in early project estimating based on more...

: Managing the evolving business requirements on a project is a challenge facing business analysts everywhere. Ensuring that the requirements are captured, clarified, confirmed and communicated at the appropriate level of detail for the diverse target audiences is just one component of requirements management, albeit a major one. Requirements communication, requirements traceability, status tracking, and making the appropriate requirements reusable are activities that can be equally critical on information technology projects.

: Managing requirements change has been a major challenge even for the best-run projects. Keeping track of how the changing business environment impacts ongoing projects and production applications can be a nightmare without proper tools and techniques. The concept of requirements management is not new but with an increase in the use of off-shore developers and off-the-shelf solutions, it has become much more significant for information technology projects.

Requirements management is one of the major components of Knowledge Area 4: Requirements Management and How to Package and Communicate Business Requirements
: One of the primary jobs of the business analyst is bridging the communication gap between the business community and the technology experts. Business, stakeholder, solution, and transition requirements describe what information technology has to deliver but making sure that both parties agree on just what these requirements mean is the real challenge.
This virtual workshop presents concepts, tools, techniques, and ideas for packaging, presenting, and communicating these types of requirements to both the business and technology communities. Only if both sides understand the same thing under these requirements can they work together to develop an optimal solution.

: A business use case diagram is a visual tool that shows interaction between the environment and an evolving information technology solution. A single business use case is a textual tool for representing how individual end-users and other involved parties or systems (collectively referred to as "actors") will interact with the proposed system. Knowing why you need a business use case, when it should be created, and where to put what information is critical to creating quality functional requirements. Without a common understanding of the purpose and structure of use case diagrams and the business use case document, use cases can quickly become "useless cases".

: Test cases are situations taken from real life that will put a new or modified information technology solution through its paces. Business test cases should be designed to find existing errors and to increase your confidence in the applicationa ™s ability to survive the real world of production. The key to a successful suite of test cases is to use a wide variety of methods to discover and consolidate testing scenarios that are most likely to succeed in finding errors (if there are indeed any) in the application. To err is human, to test divine.

: Business Analysts are often involved in end-user acceptance testing. To define good requirements, you need to understand the testing process that will ultimately determine whether or not the solution fits your needs. If you dona ™t know how you will test a requirement when the system is delivered, you need to know more about the requirement.
Business System Analysis in the 21st Century
: The Encarta World English Dictionary defines an "analyst" as an "expert who examines something by separating it into its elements and gives an assessment . . .". A Business (Systems) Analyst, then, examines a business system by separating it into its elements to evaluate it. In most organizations, the business analyst also defines business requirements which the information technology professionals use to build or buy a solution.

: Business data represents the atomic level of information systems. It forms the basis upon which everything else depends. In a very real sense if you get the business data right, the rest will follow. If you get the business data wrong, the system may never recover. In order to get the majority of the business data right, it is essential to have a picture of the data in form of a business data model. As the old proverb states, a picture is worth a thousand words.

: This online, self-paced course presents business analysis techniques for improving the measurability of a requirement statement (whether you wrote the original or not). Being able to measure a business requirement will increase the probability that the developers will understand - and deliver - what you ask for. A powerful by-product of this rule is that when you ask how will you measure or know that a business requirement has been achieved, it reveals additional information about the requirement.

Being able to measure a business requirement will increase the probability that the developers will understand - and deliver - what you ask for. A powerful by-product of this rule is that when you ask how will you measure or know that a business requirement has been achieved, it reveals additional information about the requirement.Introduction to Business Process Analysis
: Business processes and data are the key drivers for all organizations. They are what the business does and how the business keeps track of its activities. They are a combination of business operating procedures, business rules and supporting information technology. Creating visual models of the processes and data is an essential first step to understanding and improving them. Business analysts should be aware of the competing conventions for modeling the business process.
Introduction to Modeling and Analyzing Business System Data
: Data represents the atomic level of todaya ™s information systems. Data is the building blocks upon which everything else depends. In a very real sense if you get the data right, the rest will follow. If you get the data wrong, the system may never recover. In order for the data to be right, it must reflect how the business thinks about and uses its data. Creating a business data model is a critical first step.
Removing Ambiguity and Subjectivity from Requirements
: This online, self-paced course teaches business analysts and subject matter experts (SME) how to improve the understandability of business requirements, stakeholder requirements, solution requirements, and transition requirements by removing ambiguity and subjectivity.

Requirements Definition Techniques for Subject Matter Experts
: Subject matter experts (SMEs) are smack in the middle of the critical path on any information technology project. Their decisions and input become the business and stakeholder requirements for the project. Solution and transition requirements are derived directly from their contributions. Without good SME input, your projects can easily get off track or ultimately fail. Yet, this group is all too often totally ignored when it comes to training in how they can improve their contributions.

: Since mankind invented systems, we have had system development life cycles, in short, a method to our madness. Without methods, every project is an experiment without a roadmap and with an indeterminate outcome. Methodologies give direction to our endeavors. Methodologies alone do not make projects successful. People do. People apply a methodology to make their success repeatable, but the success depends ultimately more on the people than on the process. There are currently several competing methodologies for developing information systems and each claims to be the best. Reality shows us that they may all be right a if the basic assumptions underlying their application are given.

: Use cases are vehicles for capturing how someone will use an evolving information technology solution once it is delivered. Much has been tried, written, and presented about this simple, straightforward tool in conjunction with the Unified Modeling Language. The UML comes to us from the universe of Object-Oriented development, a place only few have dared to go and return unharmed. Use cases themselves, however, are not limited to the esoteric world of objects and the multitude of models that the UML provides. Taken sanely, they offer hope for ultimately solving the seemingly age-old problem of figuring out what end-users want and need.
