Hi there!
This course is designed for business analysts (or anyone involved in requirements development process) who want to become significantly better at non-functional requirements .
I've been performing business analysis for many years, and project to project I see that non-functional requirements prove to be the hardest. They are the ones that the stakeholders don't get, and developers forget to think about. They are the ones that when done wrong can derail any project - no matter how big or small.
This course will help you build a structured approach to developing non-functional requirements from key categories, including:
Availability
Maintainability
Reliability
Business continuity
Compatibility
Capacity
Performance
Security
Accessibility
Usability
The knowledge gained in the course will help you define your own reusable approach to non-functional requirements definition, and take your stakeholders on the journey with you.
You will get access to practical advise, theoretical background, and examples from different industries.
I hope you'll enjoy!
Have fun.
Igor.
