Skill Level: Open to all.

This course presents the participant with best practices that, when incorporated into the requirement development and management process, will help a project team develop a winning product—one that delivers what is needed, when it is needed, within the projected costs and with the expected quality. This course is also available for intact project teams as APPEL-REQ-T.

This course is designed for NASA’s technical workforce, including systems engineers and project personnel who seek to develop the competencies required to succeed as a leader of a project team, functional team, or small project.
