This Requirements Gathering course will teach you how to gather requirements and document them. It examines how to plan for requirements activities and covers the weaknesses and strengths in each. It will cover the ten essential elicitation techniques that are used by most BA's and PM's.

In today’s projects, the biggest success factor is how well the project requirements have been collected and validated. Requirements are the basic components that make up the scope of any project. Project managers and business analysts must plan and closely identify and manage requirements for a project in accordance with existing standards in an organization. First, they must identify key sources of requirements and develop a requirements gathering strategy. Working with requirements involves identifying the activities to be undertaken in order to identify requirements, and this course provides the steps to take before and after each requirements gathering technique.
