Why

Elicitation and consolidation are core activities of requirements engineering: collecting the wishes and demands from all relevant sources and bringing them together in a single, consistent set that captures the essence of the system to be developed.

Target audience

The Advanced Level Elicitation and Consolidation addresses business analysts, requirements engineers and designers, who want to broaden and deepen their knowledge of eliciting and consolidating requirements in complex environments. To participate to this training, the candidate should have some years of practical experience in IT and possess knowledge of requirements engineering at the foundation level. To actually obtain the AL E&C certificate, the FL certificate is a prerequisite.

Business outcomes
