Instructor Notes:
After presenting this slide, ask students to comment on these results.
Have students had similar experiences on projects they have been involved in?
For students who have worked for different organizations, have they been able to recognize differences in business analysis maturity levels across companies?
Do students relate to the results that PMI is reporting on?
Instructor Notes:
Explain that requirements management is not a ‘new’ concept for PMI. Recognizing the importance of good requirements management processes has been a gradual progression, but recent research in 2014 e.g. PMI’s Pulse of the Profession report on requirements management provides ‘in depth’ information informing us that projects and programs are failing as a result of poor requirements practices. It is because of this, that PMI could not avoid further addressing requirements management. PMI is dedicated to helping its members improve project success rates; hence goal is not possible without addressing the critical competency of business analysis and requirements management.

Explain that requirements management is not a ‘new’ concept for PMI. Recognizing the importance of good requirements management processes has been a gradual progression, but recent research in 2014 e.g. PMI’s Pulse of the Profession report on requirements management provides ‘in depth’ information informing us that projects and programs are failing as a result of poor requirements practices. It is because of this, that PMI could not avoid further addressing requirements management. PMI is dedicated to helping its members improve project success rates; hence goal is not possible without addressing the critical competency of business analysis and requirements management.
