SLIDE 1 The OneSpring JAM Session™ Experience Your Requirements
SLIDE 2 “68% of projects fail, run late, or are OVER budget.”
- The Standish Group, 2009 Chaos Summary Report
“70% of REWORK is attributed to correcting requirements errors.”
“30% of project costs are REWORK .”

The Stream Process™ is a framework for how to better innovate and collaborate using visualization.
SLIDE 5
Most SDLC methods provide a representation of the requirements late in the lifecycle that lack the experiential aspect altogether
Traditional
SLIDE 6
The Stream Process™ occurs at the beginning of the lifecycle and provides stakeholders the ability to experience and validate their requirements from the start

We created the OneSpring JAM Session™ to improve the requirements elicitation and validation process A JAM Session allows stakeholders to experience their requirements

The Joint Application Modeling™ Session is comprised of these essential “ingredients”…
Small Group Collaboration Rapid Iterative Design Visualization

Small Group Collaboration
Collaboration in small groups provides an effective means of problem solving within a structured environment Complex problems that go beyond the routine require the communication of shared knowledge to create viable solutions/approaches
SLIDE 14 Small collaborative groups are well defined in their roles for the JAM Session… Pr Producer
- ducer – facilitates the experience
Analyst Analyst – elicits & documents the requirements Designer Designer – crafts the experience Business Business – provides the “what?” Technology echnology – articulates the “how?”
SLIDE 15 The roles “match” the work environment and support the task flow…

SLIDE 16 “It has long been recognized that user interfaces should be designed iteratively in almost all cases...the median improvement in overall usability was 165% from the first to the last iteration, and the median improvement per iteration was 38%...”

From initial sketches to detailed information design, visualization incorporates the use of dynamic imagery as a means of effectively communicating requirements Visualization not only enhances a “shared understanding”, but is critical in helping stakeholders organize their thoughts and work through problems to collectively build a solution

SLIDE 21 ”Flow also happens when a person’s skills are fully involved in overcoming a challenge that is just about manageable, so it acts as a magnet for learning new skills and increasing challenges. If challenges are too low, one gets back to flow by increasing
- them. If challenges are too great, one can return to
the flow state by learning new skills.”
Flow
- Mihaly Csikszentmihalvi (July. 1997) Psychology Today
SLIDE 22 A key aspect to generating the Flow includes both the environment in which the JAM Session takes place and the mental investment by the stakeholders
