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
