Maximizing the work for the effort put into it is what the presenter strives for, and he will tell you how to make your requirements meet the needs of the business and the developers at the same time. By following a boat building analogy, you will figure out what to include, where to put it, and how to group it together.
Acronyms, comparisons and contrasting ideas, and some humor sprinkled throughout the hour will keep you awake and help you to remember the key points. You will see how to tailor your documents to the audience, make them logical and readable, and get agreement on how the end product should work. By making yourself more valuable to the organization, you will secure your position and have people smiling instead of groaning when you show up. With good documents, you will see how you protect yourself and keep arguments to a minimum, even after the project is deployed.
Learning Objectives:
- Learn to C.H.U.N.K. your work – figure out what goes together
- Learn to Map your work – know what information goes in each document
- Help them Care if you are there – how to add value to the process to make yourself valued
