Requirements Management™ - 8 PDUs
Course Description:
The key to accurate requirements and scope identification is the ability to translate customer needs into well written requirements. Poorly written requirements can be ambiguous and/or cause confusion, ultimately impacting schedule, cost and most importantly, the quality of the deliverable. Business analysts are relied upon to effectively and efficiently elicit requirements from customers that leave nothing to chance. Project managers need this information to manage scope, change, and to help prevent the potential for rework, where the costs can skyrocket if not caught and remedied early. This course will prepare students to document crisp, well written requirements that accurately reflect the needs of the client. Students will learn and practice techniques for conducting effective requirements identification sessions, clearly defining requirements, managing scope/requirements changes and for tracing requirements back to the project plan and schedule. This course will provide students with skills and techniques in:
- Identifying requirements
