MANAGING SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS

Training Syllabus:
MANAGING SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS

TRAINING OVERVIEW:
Information systems development is a process in which technical, organizational and human aspects of a system are analyzed and changed with the goal of creating an improved system. In spite of the advanced technology that surrounds computer-based information systems, the process of systems analysis and design is still largely an art. There is high dependence on the skills of individual analysts and designers even though there are established principles, methods and tools. This training will give participants an understanding of the most common tools, techniques, and theories currently used in requirements management and analysis.
During this 3-day training the participants will explore in depth the early phases of the software development life cycle commonly called software requirements analysis and specification. Topics include the gathering of both functional and nonfunctional requirements, customer communication, requirements prototyping, requirements modeling, requirements validation, the documentation of requirements in terms of a formal software requirements specification, and the management of software requirements. A set of exercises, practices, and Case Studies are included in the training.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND THIS TRAINING?:
The training is specially designed for anyone requiring an understanding of Software Requirement Management including:
 Business analysts
 Systems analysts
 Systems Architecs
 Business managers and their staff
 Business change managers
 Project managers
 Project leaders and supervisor
However, Programmers, Database Administrators, Software Development Managers, and future CIO‘s may benefit from this training. Anyone with a keen interest in software requirements management will do well in this training

TRAINING OBJECTIVES:
After completion of this training participants should be able to:
• Understand the terminology commonly used in the area of software requirements analysis and specification.
• Understand the purpose of requirements engineering within the software development lifecycle.
• Understand the role of requirements engineering within system engineering.
• Communicate with customers to identify the functional and non-functional requirements for a proposed software system.
• Develop appropriate use cases and prototypes to clarify software requirements.
• Identify metrics for assuring the quality of requirement specifications.
• Use both structured analysis and object-oriented analysis to create models of identified requirements for a software system.
• Evaluate the quality of software specifications and participate effectively in requirements reviews.
• Produce as part of a team effort a formal software requirements specification that conforms to IEEE or other recognized standards.
• Understand the issues related to the ongoing management of established requirements and changes to them during the course of a software development project.

TRAINING BENEFITS:
• All participants will get SR (Software Requirements) TOOLKIT consisting of Learning Material, References, Process and Templates, Samples of Case Study, Standards
• Experienced and Internationally Certified Trainer will guide participants in Case Study Session using Hands-on Approach
• During the training our trainer will guide all participants to explore the use of SR Software/Tools in doing case study eg. Creating Software Requirements Specification, Use Case, and other UML Diagrams, etc.
