COURSE OVERVIEW:

The purpose of this course involves the formal process of capturing, analyzing, and documenting the technical and operational needs of a telecommunication project. Accurate requirements and specifications are the cornerstone of successful procurement, implementation, and system performance. This program focuses on the methodologies required to transform vague business needs into precise technical documents that can be used for engineering and bidding.

The scope of this training encompasses the development of User Requirement Specifications (URS), Functional Design Specifications (FDS), and Technical Specifications. Participants will explore how to document performance metrics for bandwidth, latency, and reliability across different telecommunications media. The curriculum provides a detailed look at the structure of a Statement of Work (SOW) and how to define clear acceptance criteria for telecommunication vendors.

Coverage includes the administrative and legal aspects of telecommunication documentation, such as compliance with international standards, regulatory requirements, and security protocols. Attendees will learn how to manage requirements throughout the project lifecycle, including change control and traceability matrices. By focusing on clear communication and technical rigor, the course ensures that participants can produce documentation that minimizes project risk and ensures that final systems meet all operational objectives.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

After completion of this course, the participants will be able to:

• Analyze stakeholder needs to develop User Requirement Specifications (URS).
• Document functional requirements for voice, data, and video systems.
• Create detailed technical specifications for copper and fiber cabling.
• Define performance metrics for network latency, jitter, and throughput.
• Develop a comprehensive Statement of Work (SOW) for telecom projects.
• Specify environmental and power requirements for telecommunications rooms.
• Document security and encryption requirements for sensitive networks.
• Establish clear acceptance criteria and testing protocols for system handover.
• Implement a requirements traceability matrix to ensure project compliance.
• Manage changes to specifications through a formal change control process.
• Evaluate vendor proposals against documented technical specifications.
• Ensure all documentation complies with international telecom standards.

TARGET AUDIENCE:

This course is intended for Telecommunication Project Managers, Network Architects, Systems Analysts, Procurement Specialists, and IT Managers involved in system planning.

TRAINING COURSE METHODOLOGY:

A highly interactive combination of lectures, discussion sessions, and case studies will be employed to maximize the transfer of information, knowledge, and experience. The course will be intensive, practical, and highly interactive. The sessions will start by raising the most relevant questions and motivating everybody to find the right answers. The attendants will also be encouraged to raise more of their questions and to share in developing the right answers using their analysis and experience. There will also be some indoor experiential activities to enhance the learning experience. Course material will be provided in PowerPoint, with necessary animations, learning videos, and general discussions.

The course participants shall be evaluated before, during, and at the end of the course.

COURSE CERTIFICATE:

National Consultant Centre for Training LLC (NCC) will issue an Attendance Certificate to all participants completing a minimum of 80% of the total attendance time requirement.
