    Course Description

    This Business Requirements course is designed to provide students with an introduction to requirements management and requirements development concepts. Beginning with an overview of project phases and software development lifecycle, the student is taken through the essential process of requirements management such as requirements documentation, change management, requirements traceability and the role of the BA in the process. In the requirements development process, students gain understanding of requirement levels and types, requirements flow, characteristics of good requirements, writing good requirements and requirements elicitation techniques.

    In a combined lecture and workshop format, students will learn about the concepts and techniques, and apply them through creating the relevant artifacts, learning how to customize the approach and artifacts to fit their organization’s needs.

    This course is designed to leverage IBM Rational Requirements Composer in the creation of the requirements management artifacts.
