JAD Participant Training Seminar - 1 Day
Description
The purpose of the JAD Participant Training Seminar is to outline and explain the responsibilities and the activities involved in the Joint Application Development (JAD) process. Experience has shown that it is important to ensure that the business community understands the JAD process and roles of everyone involved. This one-day orientation will also give the JAD participant a basic knowledge of Object-Oriented techniques and the Rapid Application Development (RAD) process.
Objectives
The objectives of the training are to provide:
 |
 | Each participant with an orientation of what to expect, define the roles and what they will be doing in a JAD session |
 | An understanding of the JAD deliverables needed for Object-Oriented Requirements Definition and new terminology |
 | An overview of JAD/RAD vs. Traditional Waterfall approach and the benefits of the new approach |
 | Team building for group problem solving and creative thinking |
