Course description
Advanced Requirements Modeling and Analysis - In House
Modern solutions are complex systems with many inter-related components. The business analyst’s role is to discover and document the requirements for the components. A change project can only succeed if the requirements can be successfully communicated to and understood by the diverse stakeholder groups who are involved.
This 3-day course explores the development of requirements along several inter-dependent axis: people, process, data, prototype, narrative, and non-functional. We create multiple models to completely describe the solution from these various perspectives. You will experience the iterative nature in which models are created and maintain the cohesiveness of multiple models. The course takes a simulation approach to help participants understand real-world issues that arise during requirements modeling and analysis. At the completion of the course, students will have completed a multi-model description of the requirements for a complete system.
