Participants will learn about the best approaches, tasks, and techniques for defining requirements for business system projects. They will investigate gathering business requirements from users and other stakeholders; analyzing and communicating these requirements; developing models and use cases to describe the requirements, and defining business rules and requirements specifications to communicate them to solution developers.
