Requirements Management for IT Professionals
Managing Project Scope from Concept to Completion
The causes of the majority of failed IT projects can be traced to poor definition and understanding of requirements. Changing requirements cause more delays than any other cause. If you want to improve project performance, you must improve the way you define and manage requirements. They are the bridge between the customer who will describe, pay for and use the system and the technical community who will specify and provide the system. The goal of this course is to equip you with the necessary knowledge, skills, and techniques so you can select and use the best approach for requirements analysis and documentation for different types of projects.
