Overview:
The course recognizes throughout, other dimensions of the problem domain, including measures of effectiveness, goals, and related value relationships. This course first establishes fundamental principles and relationships as they relate to requirements (plus MOEs, etc), with emphasis on how requirements come into existence: the relationship between requirements and design. The course then addresses the techniques used to capture, validate and gain a complete understanding of requirements, both initially, and at all subsequent stages of a system life cycle. The course then addresses in detail the conversion of individual requirements into effective requirements specifications. The course focuses on the structure of requirements specification, based on principles and without reference to specific languages.
Audience:
The course will be of particular value to people with job titles such as project manager, product manager, engineering manager, requirements manager, requirements engineer, specification writer, systems engineer, software systems engineer, software engineer, design engineer, test engineer, hardware engineer, and similar engineering and acquisition job titles.
