Essential Skills for Gathering Requirements
This workshop teaches participants to gather, analyze, and present business processes and requirements.
Participants will learn how to develop and communicate a vision document that captures the business requirements and solution goals. The range of techniques covered will benefit the requirements gatherer when communicating with users, customers, sponsors, team members, and other stakeholders.
Whether you are developing new application systems, re-engineering existing processes, implementing e-business, customizing a purchased software package, or defining a data warehouse, it is critical to accurately and fully understand the requirements clearly.
