Requirements Elicitation and Management

Defin­ing good require­ments is crit­i­cal to imple­ment­ing suc­cess­ful changes. Require­ments are used to estab­lish and main­tain the scope of a change. Require­ments are based on stake­hold­er needs and are elicit­ed through ongo­ing inter­ac­tion with stake­hold­ers. This course focus­es on tech­niques for elic­it­ing require­ments, as well as explor­ing meth­ods for clear­ly doc­u­ment­ing require­ments so that they can be ver­i­fied and val­i­dat­ed. Stu­dents learn how to devel­op a require­ments elic­i­ta­tion plan and pre­pare require­ments documentation.
