Course overview

The course aims to equip learners with the skills to engage effectively with end-users and other stakeholders to develop a set of well-defined requirements and user interface designs that focus on user-experience. Building on problem-solving capabilities, it emphasises requirements analysis, skills and techniques for gathering “good” requirements, and best practices for documenting and communicating these requirements. 

Learner will engage with human-centred processes for designing user interfaces, applying principles of effective user experience design based on well-defined requirements. Through real-life scenarios, learners will analyse the principles that underpin effective user experience design and how to apply them in practice. 

Learners will work individually and in collaboratively in teams to understand the importance of user experience in developing well-realised requirements and to address a problem statement by creating comprehensive requirements and user experience designs, through end-user and stakeholder engagement to deliver practical and meaningful solutions. 

Learners will gain knowledge of fundamental methodologies and apply principles of inclusion, diversity, ethics, culture, international trends, and industry best practices in the process of requirements analysis and design activities. Additionally, it focuses on developing and articulating deliverables from system requirements analyses to stakeholders. This course aligns with the program's intent to offer a comprehensive understanding of business analysis within the context of enterprise IT management.
