About the Presentation

Audience:Business analysts and managers, project teams
Presented by:Dan Tasker, Senior Business Analyst, Author, Mentor
Presentation Synopsis:
A generic functional model of an organisation is introduced that supports identifying contexts for information systems. An example of a context diagram representing the scope for an information system project is presented as the starting point for eliciting Stakeholder (high-level) requirements. Those requirements utilise the five fundamental capability types introduced in Part 1 of this series.
Each high-level requirement is seen to represent a unit of delivery within the project, expected to act as the context for eliciting functional (detailed) requirements. The BABOK® requirement quality characteristics are reviewed in relation to the overall set of requirements based on the project scope.
