| Abstract Text: | Everyone understands the importance of user requirements in the product selection process. What is not always clear is how to effectively incorporate requirements into the decision making process when evaluating software products/vendors. This session will introduce a requirements-driven product/vendor evaluation process incorporating the needs of all stakeholders. The session will cover the following topics: · Process overview: Tasks and activities, deliverables, time and resource expectations. · Effective ways for dealing with hundreds of individual requirements. · Soliciting and writing unambiguous requirements. · Writing an RFI that will generate measurable and comparable responses. · Using requirements to script vendor presentations. · Scoring and charting the results. The outcome of this process is an objective, multi-dimensional, perspective of the vendors and their products. Using numerous examples, diagrams, and charts, this session will demonstrate the tools and techniques needed to create your own requirements-driven evaluation process.
