The Task Analysis Grid

Todd Warfel and Bill Bulman

This poster discusses a model we have been successfully using to marry user needs and business requirements. Our approach simplifies this process by visualizing a 60-page requirements document on one page. This single artifact effectively marries user needs with business objectives, prioritizes features, and creates a simple single page visualization of the entire project scope, including phased approaches.

The advantages of this model include:

• Offers a model to visualize user needs and their connections, or disconnections to business objectives or requirements
• Offers a model that allows IAs to be more engaged in development of a project's requirements
• Simplify the requirements review process from days to a few hours
• Incorporates personas into the decision-making process
