Requirements management based on use cases

During this course you will gain knowledge and skills needed to collect the requirements of the system in a clear and simple way. You will learn to define user requirements and illustrate them by means of use cases.

Duration of the course: 2 days

During the course you will learn the techniques which enable you to:

·         Create the requirements of the system using proven methodologies,

·         Identify and categorize non-functional requirements,

·         Create use case models,

·         Manage the requirements throughout the software development cycle

Benefits after completing the course

During this course you will gain knowledge and skills needed to collect the requirements of the system in a clear and simple way. You will learn how to define user requirements, adjust them to the specificity of the project. During the course you will learn effective techniques of use case modeling as graphical elements for the purposes of defining and documenting requirements that meet the user’s needs.

Who should take part in the course

The course is primarily dedicated to people involved in the collection and management of requirements. It will also be useful for those involved in software orders.
