› Facilitating Requirements Workshops
Sometimes referred to as a JAD (Joint Application Development) session, a requirements workshop is a structured meeting of business and systems representatives for the purpose of defining business requirements and deciding other aspects of proposed systems. Using a structured approach, visual aids, and the customer’s language, requirements workshops extract high-quality business requirements specifications in a compressed time frame. The participants are focused, the process is facilitated, and the result is a greatly enhanced understanding for all those involved. This 2-day workshop is valuable to all those interested in collapsing calendar time in developing requirements and addressing other system-related topics especially those in the role of business analyst, systems analyst, designer, developer, team leader or project manager.
