Managing project requirements: smartly

Most of the organizations will be starting their requirements journey with managing requirements.

When the number of requirements getting changed is less, then people dependent methods work well for managing them.

With a growing organization and increase in number of requirements, an effective process of managing changes is a must.

Several risks related to change management include but not limited to:

i. team members working on changes that are not in the scope of the project,

ii. Supervisor or project manager not aware of tasks allocated as some change requests directly are sent to the team members from idea owner

iii. Improper impact analysis leading to schedule overruns and quality issues.

The course on Managing project requirements Smartly will enable the student to use best practices in change management.

The agenda of the course includes:

1. Change management cycle: detailed explanation with examples and best practices

2. Requirements traceability: bi-directional and best practices

3. Tackling frequent changes: identify the controllable causes and use techniques to solve them
