Aligning IT Projects With Business Needs The number of software projects that fail due to poor requirements definition is staggering. The need for methodical requirements specification is underscored by a basic fact - if a project team does not do a good job of identifying what is needed, it will not be able to deliver the desired results no matter how skilled it is in the how part (the technical know-how). Tarun Talwar will present a comprehensive and proven methodology to capture the business requirements and get them validated by the business users, which has evolved through years of experience and incorporates several best practices. While the requirements are captured and documented using an approach easily understood by the business users, the output is in a form that lends itself easily to functional and technical design using industry standard tools and techniques.
