Introduction
Get hands-on training AND real product deliverables
in the most productive way possible. Tuned specifically
for a client’s own project, this course is
like no other!
A workshop using your project to
focus a team on useful analysis and design techniques,
within
a RAD/Agile framework. The client will come away
with several outline models of their project
depending
on what is appropriate to them and agreed in
advance. USER INVOLVEMENT IS ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL.
Two consultants work with the group in a fast
and completely hands-on approach to teach/mentor
techniques and get teams actually producing relevant
models. Each day will take the project further
and the time can be spread over several weeks if
required.
An initial 1-day analysis with the client
to identify a suitable approach is required and
full participation
from key business users and IT is essential on
the day.
This is suitable for e-Business and standard
projects as well as Business Process Re-engineering.
The consultants will be available for phone/email
discussions for up to 3 months after the first
day of programme completely free, to give further
advice and review progress.
Objectives
1) to show how a focussed team can produce a whole
set of requirements and design models for your
project, quickly.
2) to teach agreed techniques in
enough detail to be able to apply them (under consultancy
guidance)
on the project in hand.
On completion delegates will:
 Have
knowledge of a set of relevant techniques for their
projects
Be
working together as a productive, multi-skilled team
Have
a real-world project deliverables

Audience
The core project team – including key business
users – for the project in question. The
aim is to focus on the project, so it is usually
not appropriate to mix the audience across several
projects.
The course is intended for the Project
Manager (both business and IT) , business managers
and
users, business & systems analysts, developers,
testers and architects, plus anyone else who will
be part of the core project team.
Duration and Style
A very intensive and completely inter-active course!!
There is very minimal tutor led teaching. We create
a highly inter-active environment with relevant
CASE tools, acres of wall space and 2 consultant/mentors
running sessions at the same time. We encourage
interactive modelling, amendments and crossing
out. We build several models and record requirements
as we go (usually on wall charts).
Everybody will be involved, moving from one model
to the next. The consultants will assess progress
and vary the schedule in order to achieve the final
result. Don’t blink – you might miss
it!
