Overview

2 day course: This course takes you through the steps to ensure that business requirements are validated and that the solution is usable and meets the business needs. Validating requirements improves the likelihood of project success making sure that we are building the right solution. The cost to correct a software defect may be as high as 2900 times the cost to correct a requirement. Finding missing requirements and requirements inconsistencies decreases the overall project length and cost.

Business analysts must use risk assessments to prioritise requirements and requirements validation activities. The highest risk areas of the business must be addressed first. This course teaches business analysts to design efficient requirements validation tests to make the best use of limited resources and time.

Solution Assessment and Validation is one of the key knowledge areas in the BABOK. This course addresses many of the important tasks in the knowledge area and equips business analysts to design efficient and effective tests to demonstrate that the application solutions meet their user’s needs.
