BUSINESS & SYSTEMS ANALYSIS
The process of gathering business requirements involves more than simply asking the users what they need and writing their answers down. Darby Consulting’s Requirements Gathering Worksessions are designed to inspire innovation and gain alignment across stakeholders on what the business needs from an application utilizing proven techniques to capture, document, communicate, and manage business and system requirements.
CHANGE MANAGEMENT
Whether you’re implementing software in the cloud or custom developing an application to fit your organization’s needs, it all requires people to change. It requires end-users, project team members, help desk specialists and trainers all working together to help each other adopt new skills, new behaviors, new processes, new features and functionalities.
SOFTWARE SELECTION
While it is technically feasible to select a software package with a few vendor demos, it is often the stakeholder component of the system selection process that can take much longer. A balanced framework focused on both stakeholders and the technology is recommended. Our methodology consists of four distinct phases to facilitate selection, create stakeholder buy-in and foster commitment that will lead to reduced resistance to change and accelerated system adoption.
