Description

This seminar provides training in requirements management and use-case modeling techniques. The course focuses on discovering and managing the changing requirements of a project: analyzing the problem, defining the vision and requirements of user-identified features, defining software requirements and requirement attributes, maintaining traceability, change management, and impact analysis for project scope management. The course shows how requirements management techniques are used to define and document requirements that meet stakeholder needs. Students practice applying these techniques through exercises developing use cases. This class is workshop focused since design concepts are best learned from doing. The final workshops are oriented to solving problems that you have in your current projects. The workshops allow you to learn how the concepts are applied and how to develop skills in business requirements management using use cases as documentation practices.

Objectives

  • Apply effective requirements management skills to produce a clear statement of project requirements
  • Capture and document requirements with current modeling techniques
  • Use attributes and traceability to help manage requirements scope and change throughout the development lifecycle
  • Define requirements that enable design, test, and user documentation activities
