Despite the fundamental principles of requirements engineering being relatively well-defined, ‘poor requirements’ are regularly held up as the reason for project failures.
Experienced business analysts know that this can be due to many factors, including failure to align requirements with business objectives, address cultural issues and document requirements at the correct level.
This Advanced Requirements Engineering course includes a mixture of discussion and practical work to help experienced business analysts tackle more challenging requirements engineering assignments and develop strategies to avoid requirements pitfalls.
Candidates sitting this course are required to hold a BCS International Diploma in Business Analysis certificate
During this three day course you’ll receive all the training you need to prepare for the BCS Professional Certificate in Advanced Requirements Engineering examination. A pass means you’re another step closer to achieving the BCS International Advanced Diploma in Business Analysis.
