Intended For

This course is intended for experienced business/systems analysts, systems managers, project leaders, consultants, systems analysts and planners.

Prerequisites

This is part 2 of the Mastering the Requirements series. The material is of an advanced nature. It relies on you being an experienced requirements engineer, and your familiarity with the concepts and terminology presented in MRP part 1. This workshop assumes prior knowledge and does not stop to review or explain. “Mastering the Requirements Process – part 1” (the 3 day course) provides training in these foundation concepts and is a mandatory prerequisite.

Learning outcomes

In this course we show you ways of choosing the best set of requirements to give you a competitive edge and still get your product to market on time, including techniques for quantifying the business value of investing in requirements.

We also address the need to anticipate market opportunities by explaining how to invent the requirements your customers are not yet asking for. And we address the question of dealing with requirements for existing systems along with techniques for managing meta projects – large projects made up of a number of smaller ones.

A good requirements engineer has the skill of helping a wide variety of people communicate their requirements to one another. The project sociology section in this course helps you to discover the correct stakeholders for your project, to get them involved in the appropriate parts of the project and even more importantly to stay involved.
