PMI’s 2017 Pulse of the Profession® sites 39% of projects’ primary cause of failure is due to poor requirements-gathering/management. It is our failure to understand the user and their perspective that results in the lack of proper requirements. It is critical we understand our user, their needs, and the vital skills essential to capture and communicate in an unambiguous manner product requirements adequately. Advance Requirements Writing for Engineers is a skills-based critical writing course that will help you understand the principles of the human-centric user by applying human factors and ergonomics using a variety of techniques. This course will instruct how to gather and develop user evidence and the technical writing techniques required for writing clear and unambiguous requirements.
