2011: R is for Requirements

Posted by
Let me share with you my personal goal for this year on Better Projects.  I want to focus on exploring requirements management and the world of the BA in more detail.  I want to dig into the history of the practice and discover better ways of doing things.  I want to put together a more complete model in my head (and on this blog) about the who, what, where and so on of requirements management.

I want to do this because it's interesting.  And because it's an opportunity for me to learn and grow professionally.  And hopefully because it's of interest to you.

Thanks for reading, and I hope you have a great year.
