The importance of requirements may be based on their relative value, risk, difficulty of implementation, or on other criteria. These priorities are used to determine which requirements should be targets for further analysis and to determine which requirements should be implemented first. Join us for this iiBA vendor webinar dedicated to showing you specific tools that will help you perform your business analysis duties more effectively. This webinar series is ideal for everyone in the BA Community, decision makers, and senior management.
	Mapping the Business Value of Collaboration Register now: June 25, 2013 | 10:00am – 11:00am Pacific What you’ll learn: Skeptics of social business argue that knowledge workers are too rooted in traditional tools, like email, to ever exploit the spectrum of value of today’s social business and collaboration tools. However, growing evidence proves that collaboration has measurable, discrete business value, particularly in the areas of sales, customer service and new product development and delivery. Collective intelligence can drive a broad base of new ideas and refinement of innovation across business processes. Join us as Forrester’s Rob Koplowitz, Vice President, Principal Analyst Serving CIOs presents on the business value of collaboration.
