Global Knowledge-Business - February-June 2009 - (Page 28) Requirements Development and Management Course 2964 Develop effective requirements specifications that meet business and end-user goals. Course Description Numerous studies have concluded that failure to effectively develop and document project requirements is directly related to project failure. By following the logical methodology for the requirements process presented in this course, you’ll develop effective requirements, including business objectives as well as business, end-user, system, and software requirements. By working through the requirements process using walkthroughs, reviews, prototyping, and storyboarding, you’ll discover the importance of and types of requirements, examine information-gathering methodologies, and learn to conduct effective interviews, workshops, and surveys. You will earn 18 contact hours or PDUs upon completion of this course. Course Content 1.
