Course Overview
10 Key Requirements Gathering Techniques Every Business Analyst and Project Manager Should Master
This Requirements Gathering course will teach you how to gather requirements and document them. It examines how to plan for requirements activities and covers the weaknesses and strengths in each. It will cover the ten essential elicitation techniques that are used by most BA's and PM's.
In today’s projects, the biggest success factor is how well the project requirements have been collected and validated. Requirements are the basic components that make up the scope of any project. Project managers and business analysts must plan and closely identify and manage requirements for a project in accordance with existing standards in an organization. First, they must identify key sources of requirements and develop a requirements gathering strategy. Working with requirements involves identifying the activities to be undertaken in order to identify requirements, and this course provides the steps to take before and after each requirements gathering technique.
This course is aligned with the Business Analysis Body of Knowledge® (BABOK®) published by the International Institute of Business Analysis (IIBA™), and can be used towards the training preparation for the IIBA’s Certified Business Analysis Professional™ (CBAP™) certification.

This is a really good high level overview of requirements gathering with several practical application steps. A great spot to start on this topic. This only thing that it was missing was a practice scenario.

Looking forward for more techniques on requirement gathering. In a practical corporate world, people won't provide luxury to leverage this tools/techniques for requirement gathering.

The course doesn't provide case studies or specific examples - it would benefit from taking a project from A to Z and showing how each element applies to it. It is mostly theortical and this information is easily googlable. Some information is not in the notes even though it's important. The instructor "is not in a position to recommend" outside tools which could be useful - if you're an expert knowing what tools to use is paramount - and sharing that information would be useful. Generally the course seems to be neglectfully made.
