Opleiding: Practical Requirements Writing

Practical Requirements Writing is a hands-on course with a dose of INCOSE theory on needs and requirements. It is designed by professionals for professionals to help them craft requirements that adhere to INCOSE best practices.

During the workshop, participants will revisit the role of requirements in the V-model and learn system analysis techniques that support the structuring and discovery of requirements. After discussing the nine characteristics of good requirements, participants will apply them to improve their own requirements. We will discuss different requirements templates that can be applied during the writing process.

Besides the nine characteristics of individual needs and requirements, INCOSE also defines six characteristics of sets of needs and requirements. Participants will learn how these characteristics can help them develop better requirements descriptions. We will also discuss aspects that you should consider when defining and structuring the requirements for reuse.

The course also introduces how (AI) tools, such as QV Scribe, ChatGPT or GitHub Copilot, can help speed up requirements drafting, refining phrasing, and acting as smart assistants during requirements development.
