Trainer’s BR

It is common to get the requirement document and generate the BRD prior to start any project. Including the time lines, preparing the schedule and cost etc. All these are very practical and normal process during the initiation phase of any project.

Two main points, which plays a critical role in on time delivery and exceed the expectation of deliverables are; whom you are gathering the business requirement and who is taking these requirement.

In case you are taking the BR from a trainer, then you should keep few points in your mind prior to committing the time line and cost of the project.

1-     Trainers are very smart and full of theoretical knowledge

2-     They present situation and requirement in a very simpler way

3-     They will make you feel that the project is very easy

4-     They will show you the quick success path

The above can make you comfortable up to some extent and you may be overconfident.

I believe, in such case, we should take some time prior to committing anything. We should circle back to the requirement, think practically from the development and implementation point of view and prepare ourselves with necessary questions. If we do that, the project will definitely be a success!!
