How to Clarify and Confirm Business Requirements with Use Cases

Use cases are considered to be an ideal representation of the functional requirements for a technology solution. Beyond the functions, information technology systems need to meet informational, behavioral, and environmental requirements. This class is designed to teach you how to use these different dimensions of the requirements to flush out critical details of the solution before the project goes too far.

Our vision of a virtual workshop is web-based training that is highly interactive. We absolutely avoid the death by page-turning and the passive learning approach that is highly prevalent in most web-based training.
