This online, self-paced course presents business analysis techniques for improving the measurability of a requirement statement (whether you wrote the original or not). Being able to measure a business requirement will increase the probability that the developers will understand – and deliver – what you ask for. A powerful by-product of this rule is that when you ask how will you measure or know that a business requirement has been achieved, it reveals additional information about the requirement.
