Centigrade UX Academy training
User-centered requirements engineering
Often, the opportunity is missed to really capture, verify and validate user stories in a user-centered way. In the end, it happens that there are features without additional value, solutions without problems. Especially with complex software systems, user-centered requirements engineering is indispensable so that only those requirements are brought into expensive software development which are based on real market and user needs.- Agenda

Who should attend
This training is aimed at requirement engineers, product owners, product managers, process owners, UX researchers and UX designers.
Learn to derive concrete user needs from usage scenarios and how to verify them successfully in the field. Convert verified user needs into robust and precise user requirements in the form of user stories. Reduce project complexity and prioritization efforts with small, self-explanatory units that can be developed without risk.
Note: In our UX Academy trainings, we focus on groups (e.g. the UX department of a company). The number of participants is a minimum of 6. If you would like to register together with other people, you can also register as an individual, provided that the minimum number of participants is reached. -
