INTRODUCTION
Project Management is the management of change, but this only works with pre-agreed “goals” and “boundaries” to set the rules of engagement. Requirements Management defines the project and provides a framework to see that those requirements are successfully tracked and completed through all phases of the project. In simple terms, we lay out the project details then analyze the triple constraints of time, cost and performance.
This Mastering Project Requirements training course provides proven requirement management techniques and begins by exploring the challenges encountered when gathering requirements.
This training course will progress by exploring the bigger picture, understanding what is needed from a strategic perspective, consider operational or tactical requirements.

Let’s start to develop the appropriate skills to gather, define, agree, and master project requirements.
