The customer's wishes are not always clear enough to design a system straight away. This training will teach you to make the translation of a customer's requirement into the eventual system run smoother, with less faults.

During the course all aspects of designing a system are trained, from the first requirement to the final system design. Theory on designing systems and design phases will be trained thoroughly. The training is based on the LAD-method (Linear Application Development).

After the course attendees

• will be able to describe and analyse the customer's requirements better,
• and will also be able to translate this into a system that can be built accordingly.

 This will reduce the risk of faults. Preventing faults in this stage will prevent a project to be out of control.

Classroom training with interactive exercises. Attendees work in small groups on a systems design, that will be built up from the customer's requirements up to the end report. During the training 2 case studies are used.

Delivered as a live, interactive training: available in-person or online, or in a hybrid format.
Training can be implemented in Dutch or English.

Project experience is useful as is knowing a design tool and its use.

This training is meant for professionals with some design experience, who desire to design high quality systems.
