Developing Effective Requirements Specifications
Live Instructor-Led Classroom Training
An IIBA Endorsed Workshop
Gathering requirements and recording them is a skill that is fundamental to the success of any project. An effective solution is available. It is possible and reasonable to produce effective requirements specifications QUICKLY, ACCURATELY AND COMPLETELY with a battle proven process.
The RETURN ON INVESTMENT is high. Reduction of errors after delivery is significant. Reduction of changes during project execution is a major time saver. Shorter time for the total project is a managers' most popular benefit.
Our 3-day workshop presents a comprehensive process for systematically developing complete and accurate requirements in the shortest possible time. Industry's best practices and structured techniques are combined with effective proven modeling methods throughout the workshop. Participants will apply learned techniques to improve how they elicit, analyze, document and manage requirements. In the final assignment, participants have the opportunity to effectively develop high quality, clear, complete and accurate requirements specification.
The workshop is heavily "hands on" (about 65%). There are no automated tools: All work is simulation of real situations and done in teams relying heavily on group interaction.
Who Should Attend
This seminar is extremely helpful for systems project leaders, business analysts, systems analysts and designers, software engineers, data administrators and systems users who are involved in developing requirements specifications.
