Course Overview
Purpose:
This popular course aims to give delegates an understanding of why requirements are important in system development, and the basic practical skills needed to create good, effective, requirements.
Intended Audience:
The intended audience for this course includes system and software engineers, analysts, programmers, and others who create and use requirements.
This course will also benefit those whose work is influenced by requirements, including testers, quality assurance managers and project managers.
Teaching Approach:
The course is highly interactive. Whilst this course covers the essential theory and context, by introducing the key techniques and concepts of requirements work, it also involves team exercises in which delegates work together in pairs and group to apply the techniques discussed. The course also includes demonstrations, examples and illustrations from the tutor's experience.
The course features a short quiz on each topic and includes discussions and feedback to make full use of the knowledge and experience of the delegates.
