Course Information
Course Overview
Not just requirements gathering, requirements gathering in an agile environment
Working with customers who don’t know what they want, but want you to create it for them, can be unbelievably frustrating! This course can help identify a variety of requirements gathering techniques that you can use to help tease out those customer wants and needs.
Conversely, working with customers who know what they want, but have not done any due diligence to know that they want that, can be equally frustrating! This course can help identify a variety of requirements gathering techniques that you can use to ensure the team create the right solution.
Some of these techniques you might already know and use. Then, the sections for them can be nice refreshers of what to be doing and what to be looking out for. We all get into some bad habits now and then. It’s nice to be reminded of what we should be doing.
Other techniques might be new for you. When your “go to” techniques aren’t working with a customer for some reason (who knows why?), you can pull these techniques out of your tool box and try them out. Sometimes it just takes a different perspective or a different way of looking at things that make things click.
For each technique there are exercises to practise before trying them out on a real project. I truly believe it helps to gain the confidence first and then start to apply.
There are also several additional resources to help you get started with the techniques.
