Introduction
Writing clear and precise requirements is as important as writing correct requirements. As users of the requirements are normally different from those who write it, and belong to different groups such as Users, Customers and Development Teams, they should be easy to understand yet be able to clearly and effectively communicate the message.

This course is designed to equip participants with the required tools and techniques for finding requirements, distinguishing requirements from design, interpreting customer input, writing precise requirements and using multiple views to communicate requirements to other stakeholders.
