Managing Requirements to Ensure Customer Satisfaction
Course Overview
Requirements drive the system. A poor requirement set will result in a poor system
implementation. However, good requirements, managed according to existing best practices
greatly increase the project's chance of success and ensure customer satisfaction.
A clear understanding of the project requirements from the outset of the project is essential to ensure successful project completion.
This course will give you the skills you need to develop good requirements and manage them effectively.
