The problem this course solves

In many IT projects, non-functional requirements – performance, security, reliability, scalability – are underestimated or not formalized at all. As a result, systems become unstable, expensive to maintain, and risky for the business.

The course teaches a systematic approach to identifying and managing non-functional requirements to ensure product stability, reduce risks, and avoid costly post-release issues.

FAQ

What is the main problem that this course solves?

Requirements such as security or performance are often ignored in IT projects. This leads to system instability, financial losses and risks. The course teaches you how to systematically identify and manage non-functional requirements (NFRs) to ensure stable product performance and avoid costly mistakes after release.

What practical skills and tools will I learn?

You will learn to classify requirements according to the ISO/IEC 25010 standard and collect them through Event Storming, CJM or interviews. The program teaches you to formalize NFR according to SMART criteria, prescribe quality scenarios and integrate these requirements directly into the product development, testing and management processes.

What is the format of the course and will there be practice?

Training takes place in an online format with a maximum focus on the application of knowledge. Discussions of real practical cases, workshops on collecting and writing requirements, as well as interactive sessions are waiting for you. Throughout the course, participants receive constant support from mentors in a closed chat.

What will I get after completing the course and how do I join?

Graduates will be able to not just "fix" the requirements in the documentation, but to make them part of the business value, reducing the operational risks of the project. To learn how to work professionally with NFR and create reliable IT products, just click the "Apply" button on the course page.
