Comments from participants in Clariteq's "Requirements Modeling" Workshop
From the very first delivery of the course:
- Excellent merger of use cases with application logic – kept developers interested.
- Best instructor for these types of courses.
- Great instructor - we need more highly experienced instructors like Alec.
- Very good. Reinforced experience.
- Outstanding… keeps everyone engaged.
- I really liked the delivery of the course content. This information is new to me, and I was able to "see" the concept.
- "Excellent pilot. Great job engaging students. Overall, very good content provided – good use of examples to demonstrate key concepts. Flow of material was easy to follow and build knowledge. Excellent facilitator who did a great job keeping entire course group energized and motivated in learning key concepts.
Miscellaneous
- A comment received several months later – "We are now doing a better job of gathering requirements in about half the time thanks to the techniques we learned in your course."
- Alec is a master instructor – keeps students engaged. He makes concepts clear, reinforces learning, and makes class fun.
- I wish we could have hired you to help on our last project!
- Alec Sharp is a wonderful instructor who combines text theory with actual experience to provide a great combination of tools to enhance our work processes. An absolute benefit to any employee of this company.
- Excellent course! Lots of synergy and use of our own examples and problems which made this class very good and stimulating.
- Excellent energy and examples. Very pragmatic approach. I learned how to create use cases in an iterative and progressive fashion, and that on their own they won’t solve all problems.
- Alec has so much energy and a great manner of presentation.
- It was great to learn about the separation of use cases and service specifications, and how to help the business separate the "what" from the "who and how."
- It was great to learn how to develop use cases using workflow, actor, and service-based approaches, and then how to write up a use case.
- It helps to learn separating "what" from "how and who," and using the "when – then" clauses in use cases.
- This class should be required for all analysts.
- Great instructor who makes the material lively.
- Very beneficial course. Provides excellent insight into use cases and how to use them. As usual, instructor was very energetic, entertaining, and knowledgeable.
- It was important to learn what level of granularity is required so there is not excessive churn but the product is understandable.
- Highly recommended! The instructor for this course was very knowledgeable in the subject matter. Alec was also very entertaining in his presentation of the material.
- I always thought the focus of this course was those useless use case diagrams until I took this course.
- Great instructor! Great course! The three courses (Data Modeling, Workflow Process Modeling, and this one) should be required for all BAs and management.
- I got an appreciation for how the conceptual data model can fit in, and how we can go from entity to service to use case. Very lively presentation kept the course interesting and relevant.
- It was valuable to be guided through a systematic process for developing the requirements on our current project.
- Presentation was fantastic. Thank you!
- Excellent instructor. High energy – great sense of humor. Very good at engaging students and promoting participation.
- I learned ways to apply the techniques to my current work.
