Introduction to
Requirements
|
This proven course covers the system life-cycle, stakeholder analysis, goals, scenarios, functional requirements,
quality requirements, constraints, modelling and analysis, reviewing and validation.
The course uses group exercises conducted with pen and paper. It
is independent of requirements tools. You are recommended to follow this course with a 'Surgery' day, putting the concepts into practice. The requirements process course forms an ideal precursor to the DOORS training course for project staff new to requirements. |
DOORS
|
This DOORS course draws on my experience with the market-leading requirements tool. DOORS is a powerful and flexible instrument in skilled hands, but its use demands some up-front understanding, and some people find the learning curve steep. I will show you how to get started on the right track, combining an understanding of the requirements management concepts with tool use and tips for organising your project information. No programming is required. You are recommended to follow this course on the requirements tool with a 'Surgery' day, putting the concepts into practice on your project. |
DXL
|
This course introduces you to the DOORS Extension
Language (DXL). As a built-in, efficiently interpreted
language, DXL is invaluable for customising DOORS. This
course provides you with
the knowledge to get under-the-hood access to all of DOORS' features, and enables
you to get the most from your DOORS database. This course assumes that you have some ability with programming, but no experience of DXL. A knowledge of DOORS as a user or administrator is a definite advantage. You may like to combine your DOORS training with this DXL course. |
Systems Engineering Foundation Course
|
This course, taught jointly by
Andrew
Farncombe of JBA and myself, has evolved continually over the years in response to our clients' needs.
This extremely successful course is constantly refined, but its message has never changed: that effort spent up front on systems engineering reduces life-cycle cost and risk, and increases stakeholder satisfaction with developed systems. |
Workshops
|
Workshops are highly focused meetings of project staff,
and often other stakeholders, with a single specific
purpose. That purpose may be to identify requirements, to
validate an approach, to resolve an issue, to review
requirements, etc: each case is different. Therefore,
workshops are always tailored to suit your needs.
They usually involve one day of "contact time" with the group, but also involve a day or more of preparation and a day afterwards to write up the results, whether as requirements, scenarios, or recommendations for action in a report. |
