About This Course

In an ideal world, eliciting, analyzing, validating, and writing accurate requirements, and delivering them to the project team would be sufficient. In the real world, this is just the start of the process. The baseline document you delivered will accrue changes as you move to the project's construction phase, and requirements often change post-delivery. The degree to which you control these changes, and accurately assess their impact on the project, is a major element in project success.

This course develops your ability to control the requirements package through baselined requirements, change control, and traceability. Together these make industry-standard best practices, as defined by the International Institute of Business Analysis (IIBA), the Project Management Institute (PMI), and the Software Engineering Body of Knowledge (SWEBOK).

Credit Information

Is this course eligible for my CPD requirements as a Canadian CPA?

Provincial regulators of CPAs in Canada do not require that independent providers of CPD be approved to offer courses. Instead, individual CPAs are responsible for assessing whether a CPD activity meets their requirements, and may take activities from any source provided those requirements are met.

Every course offered on LearnFormula is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert or learning organization, and advances learning objectives that are relevant to the responsibilities or professional competencies of Canadian CPAs. All activities on LearnFormula are quantifiable in terms of hours, and are also verifiable, in that users receive documented evidence of their attendance via a certificate of completion after finishing a course (and this certificate is stored by LearnFormula indefinitely). Nearly 100,000 Canadian CPAs successfully satisfy their CPD requirements via LearnFormula on an annual basis.
