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.

You will extend your knowledge of requirements engineering including:

• How to apply the Business Model canvas to business scenarios
• Delivering a requirements engineering plan
• How to evaluate a problem statement and explain the Outcome Frame
• Stakeholder engagement skills
• How to produce non-functional requirements
