I am organizing a live, facilitated, collaborative 3-part initiative via Zoom - primarily as a learning opportunity focused on the critical thinking associated with complex requirements.
The objective of this 3-part webinar is to provide a learning opportunity to improve critical thinking regarding complex requirements.
Group collaboration is essential to identifying and gleaning and analyzing the business rules and requirements – this is where the critical thinking occurs.
I will prepare for each session and tee-up starter analysis artifacts and then during the session I will facilitate a discussion and evolve the artifacts in real-time based on participant input.
The outputs of this initiative such as a conceptual data model, transactional and analytical requirements, and critical scenarios, while not intended to yield a complete professional level set of requirements, certainly provide an excellent starting point for deeper analysis.
There is no cost to participate, and the outputs of the initiative will be provided to all participants. The more participants, the better the outcome! Please register below.

In my recent blog post, except below, I mentioned that I am a big fan of Southwest Airlines (SWA) and fly SWA frequently. However, it appears that SWA dropped the ball big-time in connection with the storms of late December / early January resulting in thousands of cancelled flights, egregiously late departures and arrivals, missed connections and stranding thousands of passengers across SWA’s flight network.
Normally I would attribute this to the weather. However, after reading numerous articles it appears weather was the proximate cause, but the root cause appears to be SWA’s dated crew scheduling processes and an antiquated Crew Scheduling System (CSS).
For those of you that also Luv SWA and/or are interested and intrigued by the complexity of the business requirements that enable effective, efficient, agile management of crew scheduling, let’s come together and crowd source some starter requirements to help SWA modernize their CSS.
