Skills to manage and control your project.
In an ideal world, eliciting, analyzing, validating, and writing accurate requirements, and delivering them to the project team would be sufficient. In the real world, this is just the start of the process. The baseline document you delivered will accrue changes as you move to the project's construction phase, and requirements often change post-delivery. The degree to which you control these changes, and accurately assess their impact on the project, is a major element in project success.
This course develops your ability to control the requirements package through baselined requirements, change control, and traceability. Together these make industry-standard best practices, as defined by the International Institute of Business Analysis (IIBA), the Project Management Institute (PMI), and the Software Engineering Body of Knowledge (SWEBOK).
