Detailed Course Description

Why do so many organizations struggle with requirements? There seem to be two paths that organizations follow for requirement definition and management. Some organizations rush through the requirement phase to get to design and implementation, while others have invested in the panacea of requirement tools and processes. Yet many of these organizations appear to be doomed to the schedule slips and budget overruns caused by the iterative rework cycles of poor and incomplete requirement sets. 

Requirements have a big impact on project success. Studies show the importance of having a good set of requirements that are clear, complete, correct and consistent, as well as the consequences of not having a good set of requirements. Having poor requirements places projects at risk of significant cost overruns, schedule delays, and performance shortfalls. 

This online course will go over the detail required for defining and establishing requirements for any type of project and the common development and management of risks that can impact a project’s success. This course will also go over the strategies necessary to mitigate risk regarding defined requirements to ensure success. Poor requirements represent a significant risk to your project and mitigating these risks, regarding properly defined requirements, can dramatically increase your chances of project success.
