ECBA™ / CCBA® / CBAP® STUDY GROUP

You’ve collaborated with your stakeholders to identify their need of strategic or tactical importance (their business need). You’ve met with your stakeholders during workshops, in interviews and through observation sessions to identify and confirm their requirements necessary to address this business need. You’re pleased with the list of requirements you’ve documented. So now what?

In the February 2024 session, we will focus on the Requirements Analysis and Design Definition knowledge area, the seventh chapter of the BABOK®.
