Course Description
This course provides intermediate and advanced business analysts, project managers, and product managers an incredibly powerful addition to their skill set through requirements visualization.
As an extension of Requirements Core Concepts training, it dives deeper into requirements models and when to use them. Visual models help you organize large amounts of complex information to identify gaps in the requirements and out of scope requirements. Understanding how to select models provides you with the ability to communicate with any audience – customers, developers, product managers, and senior management. You will learn to use models together to ensure requirements are complete and consistent.
Taught by Seilevel’s expert practitioners (we wrote the book on visual software requirements models), this course incorporates breakthrough techniques using games to create an interactive learning environment. You will practice creating, selecting, and relating models using our unique approach to training. By fully engaging with our practical exercises, you will acquire the skills to communicate the intricacies of your business needs.
