An Efficient and Effective Approach
Whether you are just getting the requirements for a new feature or you are on a large team trying to define the requirements for a brand new system, you are always under time pressure. Getting the requirements work off on the right foot is critical. The Volere (meaning “to wish” or “to want” in Italian) process for requirements discovery has a front-end defined with efficiency in mind and can be tailored to best fit your specific situation. It is a systematic way to get to the point where there are no unpleasant surprises when you go into the study of detailed requirements.
A Proven Approach
The Volere process has been defined for almost 20 years and is practiced by organizations around the world. The text, Mastering the Requirements Process, is now in its 3rd edition. The Volere requirements specification template is now in its 15th edition.
Who Should Attend
Anyone participating in defining requirements will find value in this course, whether you are a business analyst, project manager, or subject matter expert.
