IS 2018 in Washington DC is fast approaching.  I hope you will be able to attend.

The Requirement Working Group (RWG) is scheduled to meet for 2 hours on Monday, July 9 from 10:00 am till noon in Room Latrobe – Constitution Level (3B).  During this 2-hour session the RWG will briefly review the status of various planned RWG activities for 2018 as outlined on the IW2018 Quad Chart.  The rest of the time will be an open “Ask the Experts” session where attendees can bring up issues they may be having with requirements development and management in an open discussion environment.  This is a unique opportunity for attendees take advantage of their access to a wide group of experts in the field as well as understand the benefits of being a member of INCOSE and the RWG specifically.

In addition, several of the RWG members will be presenting papers.  If your schedule allows, please plan to attend these presentations.
