Client Needs and Software Requirements

Turn vague client requests into buildable requirements

Offered by the University of Alberta, this Course has been taken by 83,048 students and focuses on a skill that's easy to underrate: translating what a client says they want into requirements a development team can actually build against.

What you'll practice

• Eliciting and expressing software requirements from client conversations
• Writing user stories, backlogs, and functional requirement documents
• Managing change control and acceptance testing within Agile workflows

It's a good fit for junior business analysts, product owners, or developers who keep getting handed unclear specs and want a repeatable process for clarifying them. The practical, document-driven focus makes it more immediately usable on the job than a purely theoretical requirements-engineering course.
