Tool-Based Requirements Management

Lift your requirements to the next level

Modern requirements tools can significantly improve development productivity, product quality, and perceived customer value. In contrast to conventional office apps, specialized tools make your requirements accessible to your teams anytime, anywhere. They offer extensive functionality for authoring, visualizing, collaborating on and using requirements.

The training course demonstrates the power of tool-based requirements management and provides hands-on practice. While applicable to any modern tool, it uses for illustration the widely used Atlassian Jira with the app easeRequirements from ease solutions.

Participants will learn:

• What are the fundamental building blocks of tool-based requirements management?
• What tools are available on the market, and what are their characteristics?
• How does tool-based requirements management differ from traditional approaches?
• How can you set up and use a prototypical tool-based requirements solution?
• How can you get started with tool-based requirements in your own job, team, or organization?

Participants shall have a basic understanding of requirements management or a related field (e.g., business analysis, product management, systems engineering). Prior knowledge or experience with requirements tools is not required.

The course is designed as a rich and highly effective learning experience that includes synchronous (classroom) and asynchronous parts (self-study, flipped classroom). At its core is an instructor-led live online session. Participants prepare for the live session through guided self-study using the flipped classroom model. After the live session they are given the opportunity to set up and try out a requirements tool in a self-paced practical exercise that follows a step-by-step scenario. Participants can gain access to a discussion forum where they can explore the topic in more depth and interact with other practitioners and experts.

The instructors are subject matter experts with many years of practical experience. They also know how to facilitate highly interactive web-based learning.
