To build a successful solution or product, you must be agile and progress steadily. But are you asking the right questions, including how well it is expected to work? Have you addressed hidden properties that may impede further progress or even lead to failure?
The training focuses on the importance of defining solution quality attributes (also known as non-functional requirements) and how to elicit them in collaboration with stakeholders, primarily using the Quality Attribute Scenarios approach by Carnegie Mellon Software Engineering Institute. The goal is to help avoid major failures and reach higher satisfaction for both end users and company stakeholders behind the solution by using appropriate techniques.
Learning points:
-
Understanding of how to build more successful products and systems by paying enough and on-time attention to desired quality attributes.
-
Learn simple and mature approaches to defining non-functional requirements (with a primary focus on quality attribute workshops and scenarios).
-
A more realistic understanding of time and efforts needed to define quality attributes and reduced risk of failure for your product, solution, or service.
