    Hello everyone and thanks for watching this video. I have received lots of comments on the music in the interludes. As such, I have redone this video without that music and you can view it at czcams.com/video/oksQXWVq-cQ/video.html and you can also get the URL to download a nice template. To download the template, you have to write the URL in your browser. You can't click on the link in the video directly. Thank you once again, and would appreciate your LIKES!

    This is the best Requirement Gathering/Elicitation video on youtube. I've been around quite a lot of them and i can tell you Sir, that you have done a fantastic job in your approach and delivery. Your simplicity makes it easy for even a BA newbie to grasp the RG processes so easily. I will be more than happy to direct my students to your page for simplistic learning on PM videos. Great job!!!

    thank you Edward for the inspiring tips sharing. but imho, the other item that should be considered by business requirement analyst is they should prepare such mechanism/tools/media which would help user to reveal their unseen/unspoken/unaware needs by himself, like a matrix table which contains possible use cases; generic/basic visualization of process/data/integration flow which later would be expanded/enhanced/enriched with new/future capabilities/functions; data ilustrations which would help to identify whether any anomaly data to be anticipated/solved; etc.

      Hi Dina...the output after you collect the requirements would be a Requirements Document. You can see a sample of the document in this other video czcams.com/video/j53nkGOTtoI/video.html and exactly at the 42:03 time frame. Hope this helps. I intend to make a video on the requirement document and how to use it. Thanks for watching!

  • @hughgallagher
    @hughgallagher Před 3 lety +2

    In a workshop or 'requirements meeting' how do you best capture req's when people are speaking quickly and you have a write/record/capture outcomes/decisions?

    • @ProjectManagementVideos
      @ProjectManagementVideos  Před 3 lety +5

      Those meetings need to be properly or efficiently facilitated where you can be in the driver's seat. They need to have an agenda, be controlled as to what topic is being analyzed when, with a scribe assigned to record the requirements. If it's a handful of people, you can control the flow of discussions. If there are lots of attendees (10+), then you either have to be really commanding to control the flow, or you need to have someone help you write requirements. In all cases, people shouldn't all be talking at the same time.
      An easier solution would be to use technology to help you. I have found there are online applications that can assist you with brainstorming and sorting ideas and requirements with minimal effort from your side. Take a look at groupmap.com (I am not sponsored by them), and their brainstorming tool, and you will see how easy it can be. You have to take charge of the meetings if they are to be productive. Hope this helps.

    This was amazing!!!! Started a new job recently and this is my first project. Thank you very much for the video. What would you suggest is a good way to come to a conclusion as a team which the ranking of the functional and non functional requirements for a particular solution? When dealing with different stakeholders it is difficult to reach a solution that appeals to all parties.

    • @ProjectManagementVideos
      @ProjectManagementVideos  Před 3 lety +4

      I would suggest you document the requirements in Excel and email to the stakeholders and have them vote on the requirements anonymously using 3 for requirements that MUST be included, 2 for requirements we want but are not critical, 1 for nice-to-have requirements, and 0 for requirements they don't want to include now. Then take the average vote for each requirement.

    • @ProjectManagementVideos
      @ProjectManagementVideos  Před 3 lety +1

      If you manage them well, you should be fine. However, 3 or 4 might not be enough stakeholders for a sizable project. There could also be inconsistencies in what they want, so you will have to rely on your soft skills, negotiation, influencing, but mainly verification, validation and prioritization.

    Conditions or capabilities
    So these are functional and non functional requirements.
    First thing is to understand the need.
    Who is going to be looking at this
    Whom are your audience
    Then you find out your limitation and constraints: for example time money regulations and rules.
    We can use that time frame to estimate the budget. This is the scoping phase.
    3rd: do I know what I need to know: what dose this take. What is the tech stack. Do I know the people the volume of work and the time it will take, how many people will use it? How much money it cost. We want to know all that is still missing. You will need to compile a list of info you will need to collect
    Who/what can provide me with this information. This can be managers, suppliers and or database or document you will need to consult. With all these we find out where the info will come from.
    Now we will look at the how; how will we collect this information. This can be done with interviews, documentation, you can do prototyping and more. We can do interviews and host workshops. So for each requirement we will look at all the people that will give this information.
    When will I collect this information: this will be the schedule that will be given to each person you will get the info from. The goal is to minimise the number of meeting we will have with the stack holders.
    People or teams, will I be able to do this myself. If the time constraints is too stringent and you cannot do it your self you will need to explain this or say no. When explaining this you will need good communication skills.
