I’ve now finished and launched this course just before Christmas. You will have already heard about it if you have downloaded one of my free eBooks in the past or indicated your interest to get advance notice.
I was quietly confident that there would be strong demand but I didn’t expect takeup to be so strong. The first course with 60 places was full within 6 hours!
I have subsequently opened two more courses and the final one will be filling up as you read this. I’m afraid it may already be full.
The new course has been designed to solve some of the common problems including the following:
- business stakeholders have too little time
learn how to get stakeholders interested and excited and provide feedback at speed
- solution delivered doesn’t match the business expectations
ensure the business and developers share the same ‘picture’ and guarantee this problem is a thing of the past
- project has unrealistic timeframes
learn the essential techniques that rapidly drive out the requirements
busy work and life schedule sucks all your time leaving only brief snatches of time for anything else:
the course provides a targeted overview so your time is focussed
you can access the course at any time of day or night
You will also learn how applying best practice techniques will build better stakeholder relationships and deliver a massive boost in attention and quality feedback.
In particular, you will discover how use case modeling, prototyping and carefully planned and executed workshops in combination will deliver the results you need
The course will be online, from 17th January for 10 to 12 days.
It will be ‘drip fed’ over that period (new step becomes available via email every one or two days) but you can read the material as soon as it becomes available at a time to suit you
The course is deliberately short and focused and requires some input from you but nothing significant.
I am using a training platform called ruzuku to deliver this.
As it’s an alpha version, there will be the occasional problem.
In particular, when you sign up to the course and it is full, you will get an error message saying ‘There is a problem’ rather than an explanatory message.
I’m very happy with ruzuku as I think it is simple, effective and clear. No doubt there are some niggles that will need to get ironed out but I am confident the guys at ruzuku will get them sorted.
Unfortunately, there will be many disappointed people. I’m not running any more free courses in the near future as this will keep me very busy as it is!
I will be looking at running this again in a couple of months but only when I have seen how well this session has worked.
I will revise the course and also consider whether I will need to start charging for the course.
