Requirements Planning Workshops with Ben Newbolt

Service & Journey Design

Requirements Planning Workshops

Unite cross-functional teams to explore scope, constraints, dependencies, and success criteria. These sessions are particularly useful for complex or regulated projects where clarity, alignment, and traceability are essential before design or delivery begins.

When to Employ This Service

Use at the outset of a project to align stakeholders on goals, constraints, dependencies, and delivery scope — particularly for large or complex initiatives.

Outcomes & Benefits

These workshops align user needs with delivery feasibility. They support early decision-making and reduce scope risk.

  • Clear prioritisation across teams

  • Shared understanding of delivery constraints

  • Better focus on high-value features

  • Reduced rework from misaligned expectations

Approach

I facilitate structured sessions to align business, tech, and design needs. These workshops create shared definitions of scope, value, and feasibility.

  • Framing: Align on business goals and user needs

  • Session Planning: Select tools and exercises for requirement shaping

  • Facilitation: Guide teams through framing, prioritisation, and dependencies

  • Outputs: Translate into stories, epics, or delivery plans
