Description

Requirements gathering has been a major bottleneck for many companies, agencies and organizations around the world in their efforts to develop and deploy projects.

When do you start, how much do you gather right away and how much do you obtain later? The Waterfall Methodology has developed clear guidelines on what needs to be gathered and when.
This course focuses on defining requirements gathering processes in an Agile environment as well as teaching you how to use tools and techniques to help you execute these processes.

You will learn how to create project Visions and the level of requirements gathering you will have to perform for each stage of the fluid Agile development process.
This is an interactive course where you will learn about the principles and processes first and practice them later in several case studies to ensure you fully understand the meaning and purpose.

Large (not broken down) requirements or not clearly defined requirements can have a significant negative effect on a project’s successful realization.

Make sure you know how to define and document requirements in an Agile project environment and supporting the successful development and deployment of your Agile Project.
