Keeping Pace with Changing Business Needs - The Role of Requirements Change Management |
|
Speakers:
Chris Farrell - Application Engineer, MKS
Date: May 20 - 1:00 PM EST (duration: 1 hour)
Session Abstract: As the pace of change in IT and software organizations continues to increase, the challenge of how to keep up with evolving and expanding business needs also increases. How do you keep pace when no sooner is a project underway than the requirements change?
Changes to requirements can cause many challenges if not properly communicated, assessed and managed, often leading to schedule and budget overruns. When looking at your current requirements management practices, how do you answer the following questions?
Have your project requirements changed, been removed or added recently? How can you tell?
What is the impact on the rest of your project of making a particular change to a requirement? Are you sure?
How are you communicating changes downstream so that all stakeholders, from the business analysts requesting the change to the developers and testers, are all aware of the change?
Join MKS for an informative session that will speak specifically to the challenges teams face in managing and responding to rapidly changing business requirements, the reasons behind frequent change, and why tools for requirements change management are essential in controlling an otherwise chaotic development process.
