Software Requirements Essentials Training - Learn Best Practices for Developing and Managing Requirements on Any Project
Requirements serve as the basis for all of the project and product work that follows. Software teams that skillfully develop and manage their requirements are more successful than those that do not. This course focuses on the twenty core requirements practices that make the greatest contribution to business analysis, and ultimately project, success. These essential activities are valuable regardless of the product type, application domain, team structure, or development approach.
Based on the popular new book Software Requirements Essentials, this concise, four-hour course spans the full gamut of key requirements-related activities. These practices range from establishing top-level business objectives and identifying stakeholders through various requirements elicitation, analysis, specification, validation, and management techniques. They address diverse requirements types, including business requirements, user requirements, functional requirements, quality attributes, data requirements, and business rules. And, many short exercises are included to provide students with practice on the techniques presented.
