Description: This course covers how to use IBM Rational Requisite Pro to manage
requirements. To effectively use ReqPro, you have to know what you want out of it. The course will
cover suggested reports (managerial and technical) and the data to support those reports, then will show how to set up a ReqPro
project to provide that information, and how the various users will interact with ReqPro to enter
and access information. ReqPro can be a challenge to use when modeling requirements as Use Cases,
so the course covers a variety of techniques for managing Use Cases in ReqPro. Because many projects use ReqPro stand-alone,
the course also covers basic administration tasks for ReqPro and its database. We will be installing a trial copy of ReqPro
during the course.
This course is very hands on. Delegates will be installing and using ReqPro throughout the day.
This course is appropriate for anyone who needs to use IBM Rational Requisite Pro for a project.
It is designed for Managers, Project Stakeholders, Business Analysts, Project Architects, and ReqPro Administrators.
