We are all busy and looking for ways to increase productivity and improve efficiency. This is especially the case when working in a new platform. Whether you are a brand new user who just came on board or a long time user looking to widen the breadth of your skills, we have the course for you. Our courses have been thoughtfully designed to be run by you, the student. While we, as the trainers, act as your guide, you do the work. Stick time is the most effective way to learn a new platform. This ensures that you spend the hands-on time necessary to retain the knowledge gained during the course.
This Spring, we are offering two training sessions. This means
more opportunity to attend our most popular courses.

This course is designed to introduce new users to Cockpit and teach them how to use it out of the box. We will cover the user interface and walk the students through a template set from a “how to use” standpoint. There is significant hands on work involving students entering data, creating traceability, populating the rich text fields, creating action items, and taking a document through the included workflow.
This course does not introduce any configuration or tweaking of the templates.
In this session we will cover:
Before logging in
Getting started in Cockpit
Overview of template structure and navigation
Walk through the templates
This course is designed to provide Cockpit Lead Users with a behind the scenes look into configuration. We will pull the curtains back and start to learn the early steps of altering Cockpit. This includes creating and modifying document and section formats, tables, attributes, trace matrices, views, reports, and more. The students will learn how libraries work and how to set up reusable repositories to pull from a common set of requirements, tests, or risks. There is significant hands on work involving students entering data, creating traceability, creating new and modifying existing configurations (attributes, tables, traces, etc.), and creating document templates.
This course does not cover scripting, but rather focuses on configuring and tweaking of Cockpit to meet the customer’s needs.
In this session we will cover:
Review the template structure and navigation
Overview of Cockpit's organizational structure
Tailoring the templates using configuration
Setting up reusable repositories
This course is designed to provide Cockpit Advanced Lead Users with an extended look into configuration and scripting. It is the natural extension of CPT301, and covers topics ranging from creating new menus and pages to writing user defined requests, snippets, and forms. This course will also cover list definitions and the full syntax of custom requests.
This is not a coding class, but does dive into scripting.
In this session we will cover:
Menus and pages
Snippets and forms
Reports and charts
Getting data items
User defined requests and list definitions
This course is designed to provide Cockpit Lead Users with an introduction to the out of box workflow. We will review the included project, document, and requirement workflows from a conceptual level. This will naturally flow into a walkthrough of a typical project workflow, document review process, and requirement workflow in Cockpit. There is significant hands on work involving students taking on varyious roles (owner, approver, collaborator, reviewer, etc.) as they walk the project, documents, and requirements through the out of box workflows. Additionally, the students will learn the basic fundamentals of how to modify the out of box workflow. This includes configuring new or modifying existing workflow states, commands, prompts, and actions.
This course does not cover scripting as it relates to workflow, but rather focuses on configuring and tweaking of the out of box workflow to meet the customer’s needs.
In this session we will cover:
Introduction to the out of the box workflows
Walk through project/document/requirement workflows
Role playing within workflow
Fundamentals of workflow modification
