Written business requirements define an acceptable information technology system from the subject matter expert’s (SME’s) perspective. Poorly written requirements are the number one cause of IT project failure. Improving you ability to write clear concise, and comprehensive business requirements for IT solutions is the quickest way to get the systems your business needs.

This workshop provides a proven set of core techniques, methods and tricks to help business professionals create, clarify, and confirm business requirements (i.e., meaning the kind of requirements that the IT professionals need to do their job well). This is the "business side" of the techniques we teach to business systems analysts and developers to enhance communications and deliver the technology the business community really needs.

Identify the problem with language based requirements
Verify the “testability” of a requirement
