Next Meeting: Thursday, May 10th - Requirements Planning
James Hulgan from Seilevel will present on how BAs can estimate the requirements work when starting a new project. This was one of our most asked-for topics in our survey this year and we are happy to bring a great speaker to the group. Rather than being given the time they need to create well-crafted results, business analysts often are required to create requirements under an imposed deadline. Unfortunately, few rigorous business analysis estimation techniques exist to help defend the resources required to do good analysis. James Hulgan shares an estimation technique for requirements development that breaks the work down into common activities with standard resource estimates that are based on real project data. He describes how you can estimate the effort for process flows, user stories, business rules, etc., to calculate a reasonable estimate. James provides you with a take-home tool that fits into both waterfall and agile methodologies, and explains how you can adapt it for use in your organization.
