Caliber 2006 Essentials


Course Overview
This is a one day course that will introduce the requirements analyst or reviewer to the fundamental skill of managing requirement definitions using CaliberRM. You will require the knowledge and skills necessary to quickly define, review and maintain requirement specifications in a collaborative multi-user environment.

What will I learn?
CaliberRM Essentials is a tools-oriented course that provides one day of hands-on training for anyone using CaliberRM. The focus will be on using CaliberRM in the context of daily requirements analysis, including creating requirements, collaborating with other interested parties and publishing approved requirement baselines.

Throughout the course, you will use the CaliberRM user interface to accomplish these tasks and will discuss how to customize the interface itself so that each analyst may have a personal view of the requirements information. During the course you will learn not only the CaliberRM product features but also how to utilize them to manage evolving requirement definitions. For example, you will learn how to extend requirement definitions with custom attributes and, if desired, reuse these customizations as part of a project or enterprise standard. You will also learn how to define dependency relationships between requirements and across development technologies as well as reporting capabilities so that you can extract critical development metrics from your requirements repository.

All concepts are taught through a combination of instructor-led discussion and self paced exercises. After completing this course, you will be able to effectively use CaliberRM for any requirement specification activity.

Course Style
This course is targeted to those who are new to CaliberRM and also for anyone involved in the definition, review, or approval of requirement specifications
