Writing High-Quality Requirements

1 - 2 Days

 

This workshop will help people who perform the requirements analyst role become more proficient at specifying clear, unambiguous requirements. Unlike "In Search of Excellent Requirements," which addresses the entire requirements engineering process, this workshop focuses on requirements specification. Participants will not be expert requirements writers after this workshop -- that takes practice and helpful review feedback from others. But participants will have a strong sense of what constitutes high-quality requirements of various types and how to write them.

Topics covered include:

  • Requirements refresher, including requirements definitions, characteristics of high-quality requirements, and tips for writing good requirements.

  • Techniques for reviewing requirements.

  • Four techniques for depicting project scope.

  • The elements of requirements style, including structures for writing functional requirements.

  • Many ways to avoid several types of ambiguity in requirements.

  • Review several less-than-perfect requirements statements from actual specifications to identify problems, rewrite some of the requirements to improve them, and exchange the rewrites with a classmate and review each other's work.

  • Brief tutorials and practice sessions to write quality attributes, data definitions, and business rules.

  • Overview of use cases, including the components of a use case and the relationship between use cases and functional requirements.

  • Practice session to derive functional requirements from a use case.
