Abstract
How an organization identifies, structures, links and assigns ownership to its requirements and internal processes directly affects its ability to successfully and efficiently perform the intended mission or achieve its business objectives.
If this activity is ignored or done incorrectly, an organization pays severe penalties in the form of intervention resource expenditure. Those expenditures are the unplanned time, money, and resources expended to compensate for quality and schedule
problems.
When quality and schedule problems dominate the energy an organization expends on a daily basis, corrective action becomes the standard "way of working." Changing that environment requires an understanding of how current processes relate to best
practices and the culture change that is needed to make the transition.
This course introduces a structured and effective methodology for documenting, validating, releasing, and changing requirements. In addition, it gives an introduction to methods for reducing intervention resource costs. It addresses the process
enhancements that an organization must make in order to accommodate change and keep all requirements clear, concise, and valid.
