Course description
Once a requirement has been elicited, it needs to be managed correctly to meet several goals:
- The quality of each requirement has to be high (thus, you need criteria to assess the quality);
- The entire set of requirements must be complete and consistent with each other (thus, means of recording, tracking, and structuring requirements are needed);
- The costs for requirements collecting should be as minimal as possible (thus, if you have good technical solutions from previous projects, why not use them?).
This course covers all these points and considers a requirement just as an accounting object – that has its own life cycle and certain processing technology. The course has built on the corresponding knowledge area of the BABOK Guide v.3.0, which is an internationally recognized standard for the practice of business analysis. It summarizes the experience of leading business analysts around the world and describes 30 major tasks of business analysis, along with 50 techniques that are commonly used for solving these tasks.
The major challenge with self-studying the BABOK Guide is that, while describing typical tasks of business analysis, it does not explain when and how one should perform these tasks. It assumes that business analysts shall be able to answer these questions on their own, based on their personal experience and specifics of a particular project. Besides that, the BABOK Guide provides very few examples that might help analysts relate the theoretical knowledge to their daily practice.
The purpose of this course is to overcome that challenge. A systematic explanation of Requirements Life Cycle Management tasks is accompanied by detailed elucidation based on real-life examples from both the instructor’s personal experience and world practice. The course takes into consideration specifics of requirements management in different approaches (waterfall, iterative, Agile). The students will perform training exercises that help consolidate their understanding. Besides that, within the course participants will explore several examples of IIBA certification exam questions.
This course provides 8 professional development hours (PD hours) for further IIBA certification.
The course instructors are professional business analysts with rich hands-on experience in a variety of projects.
