About This Course
Requirements serve as the foundation for business analysis and provide guidance as to the business solution possibilities, so getting the requirements right is critical. This course shows participants how to gather requirements from the stakeholders, even when they might not fully understand their own needs, and communicate them back to the stakeholders in a way that clarifies understanding and agreement. Several techniques are explored that will help participants address a variety of stakeholder scenarios, including performing individual interviews, conducting focus groups with several stakeholders, and administering surveys to get feedback from a larger population.
Participants in this course will learn how to identify which sets of requirements are relevant to which stakeholder groups and how to present those requirements in an appropriate format for each audience. Participants will also learn how to trace requirements and keep them maintained and reusable, as well as manage stakeholder requests for change and link requirements to business goals and objectives.
This course provides an intermediate level of proficiency in the Requirements Analysis knowledge area as defined by the IIBA BABOK.
