Tutorial 23 – Functional Requirements, User Stories, INVEST Method & Use Cases
🎓 Welcome to Tutorial 23 of Become a Business Analyst: Your Path to Success!
In this session, we dive deeper into writing clear, actionable Functional Requirements using industry-standard techniques like User Stories, the INVEST criteria, and Use Case Modeling. These tools help BAs ensure that requirements are understandable, testable, and aligned with stakeholder needs.
As always, we use real-world examples from the Loan Management System (LMS) of Nova Major Bank to demonstrate how these tools apply in practice.
