Module Foundation
I.
MODULE PURPOSE
- A.This module builds an understanding of the requirement framework and how it differs from related terms an OFA will hear constantly, like a request or a proposed solution.
- B.It builds an understanding of why precision matters, since an imprecise requirement can be built, tested, and signed off on and still fail to deliver what the stakeholder needed.
- C.It builds an understanding of how to move from a stakeholder's words to a documented requirement without distorting the original meaning, so the written record can be trusted by people who were not in the room.
II.
MODULE LEARNING OUTCOMES
- A.The learner can distinguish a requirement from a request or a solution, correctly identifying which of the three is actually being discussed in a given conversation.
- B.The learner can elicit basic requirements through structured questions, rather than simply recording whatever a stakeholder happens to say first.
- C.The learner can document requirements clearly enough that someone who was not in the room can act on them, without needing to ask what was actually meant.
