Clear Product Requirements
In Person
English
Agile Pain Point Solutions (APPS) Series is collection of 1-day classes that cut straight to the challenges people have been reporting to us for over a decade. Offering simple, yet powerful answers, each class gives you new skills and insights with which to address an aspect of Agile adoption that is poorly addressed in conventional literature.
Clear Product Requirements
Using the Fit-for-Purpose Framework, Archetypes & the Universal Feature Template
How do you know whether a change to a product or service will represent an improvement? How do you select new features, functions and classes of service? How do you define those features and functions in a clear, unambiguous and testable fashion? Do you understand the difference between a functional requirement and a non-functional requirement specific to the fidelity and quality of implementation? Do you recognize that all products and services have design, implementation and service delivery (or experience of consumption) requirements? And when you should focus on which of those elements in order to drive the maximum customer value?
This 1-day class is developed from a combination of elements from the recent book, Fit for Purpose – How Modern Businesses Find, Satisfy & Keep customers, by David J. Anderson & Alexei Zheglov, and David’s work with Peter Coad in the late 1990s developing the requirements archetypes and the universal feature template. This class will offer you significant new insights, and powerful, elegant and simple ways to explore and define better requirements for your products and services.
Who Should Attend?
This class is for business analysts, product owners, program managers, product architects, and marketing professionals who define and specify products or services. This class is useful for anyone who wants to understand how to quickly develop clear, unambiguous, testable, fine-grained requirements in a collaborative fashion that leads to a strong shared understanding of what is intended and what “done” looks like.
Prerequisites:
There are no specific prerequisites for this class. It is recommended that attendees have product marketing, product management, service design, business analysis, or Agile product owner experience. A business or technical degree or formal qualification in business or systems analysis and design is not necessary but attendees with such a background may find the contrasts with familiar material to be either interest or challenging. Prior knowledge or experience with Use Cases, User Stories, Goal-driven Design, Business Rules, Business Process Modeling, Object-relational modeling or requirements domain modeling may be useful and may reveal some strong contrasts in approach.
