Software requirements courses can help you learn how to gather and analyze user needs, create detailed specifications, and manage project scope effectively. You can build skills in writing clear documentation, conducting stakeholder interviews, and using techniques like use cases and user stories. Many courses introduce tools such as JIRA for tracking requirements, Lucidchart for visualizing workflows, and requirements management software that aids in organizing and prioritizing features throughout the development process.
