5 Months Of Research and Development: The User Requirements Course
Hello!
I’m Dejan Majkic, a passionate advocate for effective user requirements elicitation and gathering.
Through years of experience in software development and Agile project management, I’ve honed my skills in bridging the gap between user needs and technical solutions.
Building on the success of my original course, which garnered over 2,000 participants, I’ve dedicated five months of intensive research and development to creating an enhanced User Requirements Course.
I’m thrilled to introduce this new edition, featuring expanded content and practical insights. This journey has been both challenging and rewarding, and I can’t wait to share the results with you.
The Creation Process
The journey of rebuilding the User Requirements Course spanned five intense months, filled with countless hours of research, content creation, and refinement.
During the development process, over 100 students officially requested financial aid to access this course. I’m incredibly proud to have made this course accessible to them, empowering them to enhance their skills and ultimately boost their earnings.
Additionally, a significant number of students have joined our waiting list to secure a 50% discount when the course launches.
Challenges Faced in Research and Development
From the outset, the primary challenge was to ensure that the course not only met the needs of beginners but also provided advanced insights for seasoned professionals. Balancing these two aspects required a thoughtful approach to course design.
Another significant hurdle was the integration of real-world scenarios and practical applications. I wanted to ensure that the course was not just theoretical but also actionable, allowing students to apply what they learned in their own projects.
Overcoming Obstacles
Drawing on my extensive experience in the field, the first version of this course served as a solid foundation. To address emerging challenges and best practices, I conducted rigorous research, exploring academic literature, interviewing industry experts, and carefully analyzing feedback from previous students.
The course structure was meticulously crafted, with a focus on clarity and engagement. I developed a series of assignments that encourage hands-on learning, allowing students to practice their skills in a supportive environment.
Development Process
Creating video content was another significant aspect of the course development process. I recorded numerous lectures, ensuring that each topic was covered comprehensively and engagingly. The editing phase was time-consuming but crucial for delivering high-quality content.
Additionally, I incorporated interactive elements such as quizzes, homework assignments, and discussion forums to foster a sense of community among students. This collaborative approach not only enhances the learning experience but also encourages networking and support among peers.
