Risky Requirements?

Risk is a key issue for business analysts, after all, issues around requirements are a major cause of project failure. Once upon a time, those issues were uncertain threats and could have been avoided. What about opportunities? In these troubled times, we should make the most of these. Despite all of this, business analysts don't seem to spend much time on risk. This talk will give you tools and tricks to help you to run effective risk workshops as part of your BA role in the minimum possible time. As a group we'll identify the key pitfalls awaiting the unprepared BA and come up with ideas to solve them, which will form part of Chapter Six of Penny's new book.
