- 6 half-day sessions over 3 weeks
- Live remote delivery via video
- Peer learning across industries
- Session recordings for 30 days
- Workbook and reference materials
Private Cohort
A dedicated cohort for your organization, with exercises tailored to your context.
- 6 half-day sessions, scheduled to your calendar
- Remote or in-person in Białystok
- Exercises use your actual requirements documents
- Up to 16 participants per cohort
- Post-program Q&A session included
- Workbook and reference materials
In-House Program
A fully customized delivery built around your organization's specific technical environment.
- Custom session count and structure
- Pre-program diagnostic with stakeholders
- Exercises built from internal documents
- Follow-up coaching sessions available
- Train-the-trainer option for internal rollout
Pricing is provided upon inquiry and depends on group size, delivery format, and customization scope. All prices are quoted in PLN and include VAT where applicable. Organizations registered for VAT in the EU can request invoicing accordingly.
What happens in each session?
Each session is three hours. The structure is the same across all formats: concept introduction, worked examples, and a practice exercise using real documents.
How engineers read requirements
An introduction to the cognitive model engineers use when reading a specification. What they look for first. What creates confusion. Why precision matters more than completeness.
The anatomy of a clear requirement
Structure, format, and the specific elements that make a requirement actionable. User story format, acceptance criteria, edge cases, and the difference between describing a problem and prescribing a solution.
Data requirements and definitions
How to write requirements for data work. Defining metrics, specifying data sources, handling ambiguity in business definitions. How to communicate with data analysts and data scientists specifically.
Running alignment sessions
Kick-off structures, review formats, and facilitation patterns that produce genuine alignment rather than surface agreement. How to surface disagreement safely before it becomes a problem.
Reading technical communication
How to interpret what engineers are telling you. Understanding technical estimates, constraint explanations, and pushback. How to ask follow-up questions that get honest answers.
Building the ongoing relationship
The habits, check-in patterns, and communication practices that build trust with technical teams over time. How to handle disagreements constructively. Putting the full framework into practice.
Common questions about the program
No technical background is required or assumed. The program is specifically designed for people who do not have one. If you already have a technical background, the content will likely be familiar and the program is probably not the right fit.
The standard open cohort runs in English. Private and in-house cohorts can be delivered in Polish upon request. All written materials are available in both languages.
Yes, for private and in-house cohorts the session schedule is flexible. Some organizations prefer to spread sessions over six weeks to allow more time for between-session practice. This is discussed during the proposal stage.
Participants are asked to bring a recent requirements document or project brief they have written. No pre-reading is required. The first session assumes no prior knowledge of requirements writing or technical communication.
Participants who attend all six sessions receive a certificate of completion from Wabacu. The certificate describes the program content and duration. It is not an accredited qualification.
