recommending it to others. I found the material extremely interesting
and applicable to my current job function. I feel it is very easy to
take what I learned and apply it right away! Thanks for doing such a
great job!"
"I would like to thank the instructor immensely. A couple
days before starting this course I moved into a requirements analyst
position at the company I work for. I had written some minor
documentation and user instructions, and met with clients and asked
their opinions on future requests for change and why it would benefit
them. This has helped greatly in bringing everything together on how to
incorporate previous experiences into my new role. Once again, thank
you!"
"Outstanding course! This course is great at breaking down
how to go about gathering and then managing the requirements. I'm a PMI
certified PM and I find that many times if not always the PM is left to
collect the requirements gathering."
"Thanks for a great course. I learned a lot and it really helped me in my current position."
"This was a very informative and useful course. I really
liked the instructors writing style - very user friendly and fun to
read. I looked forward to each lesson. As a business analyst, this is
the exact information I needed to be a better analyst. I look forward
to other online courses by this instructor."
"This was a very interesting class overall. I have always
worked on the client/customer side of user requirements documents so it
was enlightening to learn more about the requirements analyst side. The
course has explained to me why they go through the activities they do.
Although I have always been able to work well with requirements
analysts, I feel that this knowledge will make me even more effective
in working with them in the future."
