What You Will Learn

In this Practitioner certification, you will learn the requirements engineering process, the hierarchy of requirements, how to identify key stakeholders in the process, how to model, analyse, and design requirements, and how to manage needs effectively.

Introduction to Requirements Engineering

Requirements Engineering is the process of identifying, documenting, as wel as managing the needs & constraints of stakeholders for a system/product. It involves gathering and analysing information from stakeholders, and then using that information to create a set of requirements that will guide the development of the system or product.

Hierarchy of Requirements

Requirements can be organised into a hierarchy, with high-level requirements at the top and more specific requirements at the bottom. This hierarchy helps to ensure that all requirements are met and that the system or product is aligned with the needs of the stakeholders.

Stakeholders in the Requirements Process

Stakeholders are individuals or groups that have an interest in the system or product being developed. They may include customers, users, developers, and management. It is important to involve stakeholders in the requirements process to ensure that their needs are understood and met.

Requirements Elicitation

Requirements elicitation is the process of gathering information from stakeholders to identify their needs and constraints. It can include techniques such as interviews, workshops, and surveys.

Models in Requirements Engineering

Models can be used to represent the requirements and to help understand the system or product being developed. These models can include use cases, process models, and data models.

Requirements Documentation

Requirements documentation is the process of documenting the requirements in a clear and concise manner. It includes creating a requirements document that describes the needs and constraints of the stakeholders.

Requirements Analysis

Requirements analysis is the process of examining the requirements to ensure that they are complete, consistent, and feasible. It includes identifying any conflicts or inconsistencies in the requirements and resolving them.

Requirements Validation

Requirements validation is the process of ensuring that the requirements meet the needs of the stakeholders. It includes testing the requirements to ensure that they are accurate and complete.

Requirements Management

Requirements management is the process of managing the requirements throughout the development process. It includes tracking the requirements, monitoring changes, and ensuring that the requirements are met. This includes ensuring that the requirements are aligned with the overall goals and objectives of the project and that they are being met throughout the project life cycle.

Career and Progression Prospects

Business Analysis skills are highly valued across diverse sectors, from finance to healthcare to technology. This certification has the power to open doors to rewarding new opportunities, helping you drive change and add real business value.
