• Translating Requirements Into a Business Case
• At the end of the day, IT initiatives are business initiatives, and all business initiatives need a business case. The skill is in translating technical requirements into business terms that persuade business leaders. It’s one of the biggest challenges emerging IT leaders will face in their careers. We show you how it’s done. Instructor: Michael Smith, VP, Research, Gartner
