Product Description

Product Description
A concise and thorough handbook on requirements analysis, this book is a desk guide for your systems or software development work. It enables you to identify the real customer requirements for your projects and control changes and additions to these requirements. The book helps you understand the importance of requirements, leverage effective requirements practices, and better utilize resources. You also learn how to strengthen interpersonal relationships and communications, which are major contributors to project effectiveness. Moreover, this reference identifies and describes the roles, desired skills and characteristics of the effective requirements analyst, and includes examples and checklists to help you implement best practices. It goes on to describe what comprises an integrated quality approach on a project or in an organization and explains how to achieve it. The book concludes with a vision for the field of requirements engineering and provides case studies that draw on actual experience.

5.0 out of 5 stars Every sentence radiates vast experience, 25 May 2006
By N. R. Malotaux (Bilthoven Netherlands) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is exactly what Ralph says (pXV): "a concise but thorough ready reference for Requirements Analysts (RA)". Every sentence provides sound advice and radiates Ralph's vast experience with the subject. I advise Requirements Analysts to read it through and then to read pieces of it again during the ongoing RA activities. Use it as a checklist before starting an activity, and when analyzing why a certain activity went wrong, to see how you can improve, and went (accidentally) right, to see how you can improve even further.
Ralph considers Performance Requirements and other "ilities" beyond the scope of this book (p53). This is unfortunate, because I think these types of Requirements are about the most important, and some more elaboration on how to handle and describe them would have been desirable. However, there are more subjects that he just gives pointers to and I agree with his statement (p97) that the RA should develop a working knowledge of many of the books referred to: "It is not sufficient to have a cursory knowledge of all of the requirements-related processes, practices, methods, techniques and tools. In order to be effective in his or her role, the RA must be able to recommend (and use) a good, proven approach and to facilitate deploying, implementing, and institutionalizing it". This handbook gives the RA a good start.
