Meeting Presentation Deck - The Requirement Continuum

Overview and Learning Objectives

Business Analysts, like "The Hedgehog" as described in Jim Collins' book, Good to Great, are great thinkers who take complexities and boil them down into simple, yet profound ideas; elicits and solutions for the business needs primarily with the creation of requirements.  There are four primary types of requirements, which can take the form of a well written statement or a user story.  Requirements are dynamic and will change as the project progresses.  More requirements may be added as well.  But how is this process formalized?  The Requirement Continuum is a Development Lifecycle for requirements that assess user stories, acceptance criteria and QA input to validate and determine if further requirements are needed for the next sprint, for a current feature, or for more clear understanding for development.

Learning Objectives:

• What are the different types of requirements and how is a well written requirement structured?
• What is a Requirement Continuum?
• How the Requirement Continuum can have easy adoptability in the BA's daily routine.
• How the Hedgehog concept can be applied for the BA to focus on what is important.
