Being able to pinpoint your stakeholders expectations for a newly introduced or modified existing product is key to the success of the completed solution.
To do so you need to develop the skills needed to work with requirements stakeholders to ensure that requirements satisfy various perspectives and that conflicts are negotiated to a position of consensus.
And this Requirements Engineering course is designed to help you do exactly that...
By developing the skills needed to work with stakeholders and other requirements actors, you will learn how to ensure the requirements are complete, unambiguous, realistic and testable.
Navigate systems analysis, and get full visibility into the requirements of your business.
Understand the roles and responsibilities of key stakeholder groups.
Apply a range of requirements elicitation techniques to match the situation.
Analyse, prioritise and organise a set of elicited requirements.
Define, document and prioritise requirements for an information system.
Identify problems with requirements and improve the requirements document.
Create a model of the features and functions required from a system.
Produce a model of the data requirements for an information system.
Handle the linking of system requirements to the Business Case.
Implement the quality principles of requirements management.
We tend to stick with what we know and what has worked before. But this course challenges you to think differently about engaging stakeholders in requirements definition.
My most valuable lesson was seeing the relevance and benefits of organising and categorising requirements, as well as building use cases.
And the group discussions and case studies really helped to drive the framework home.
