Requirements Elicitation & Facilitation

Description:

This course teaches students how to elicit, analyze, and communicate requirements for software development projects. Many elicitation techniques rely upon the collaborative work of individuals with diverse backgrounds.

Labs allow students to practice and refine elicitation techniques and facilitation skills in groups of various sizes. All labs simulate typical and difficult software requirements situations and issues.
