Abstract

One of the most costly aspects of any program is when the requirements “weren’t done right.” This course’s intent is to identify where the problems start to creep in and how to prevent them from occurring. This is a one day session, where the student is introduced to requirements development and management.  The objectives of this course are:• Explain the business case for requirements development• Identify the sources of system requirements• Recognize and articulate the characteristics of good requirements• Categorize requirements for the next stage of Systems Engineering• Explain the importance of managing the resulting requirements• Lessons Learned This course is not intended to be “death by PowerPoint” but rather an interactive course with many hands-on group exercises.   Part of this experience is to drive home the points of good systems engineering processes that go hand in hand with requirements development and management. Students will achieve a strong understanding of how to avoid the pitfalls of poor requirements development and the subsequent impact to the program throughout its life-cycle.
