During this course the following questions are answered:

• Where do requirements come from?
• Who are the Stakeholders?
• How do I capture and document requirements SMART?
• How do I manage requirements?
• How do I validate and verify requirements?

Next to writing good requirements, the role of requirements is examined across the entire systems life cycle; from techniques for their initial capturing and defining through the separation of user requirements from system requirements to the relationship between requirements and other project data. Methods are discussed for capturing, defining, and organising each logically. The course considers the importance of requirements in the entire development process from both customer and suppliers point of view.

This requirements engineering course takes a tool-independent approach to understanding the key role of requirements in the context of the project development process and on how to define requirements. This course uses an interactive format, encouraging attendees to examine their existing methods of doing business and to investigate more effective approaches.
