Just Enough Requirements Management: Where Software Development Meets Marketing
by Alan Mark Davis
Overview
This is the digital version of the printed book (Copyright
© 2005).
If you develop software without understanding the requirements,
you're wasting your time.
On the other hand, if a project spends too much time trying to
understand the requirements, it will end up late and/or
over-budget. And products that are created by such projects can be
just as unsuccessful as those that fail to meet the basic
requirements.
Instead, every company must make a reasonable trade-off between
what's required and what time and resources are available.
Finding the right balance for your project may depend on many
factors, including the corporate culture, the time-to-market
pressure, and the criticality of the application. That is why
requirements management—gathering requirements, identifying
the "right" ones to satisfy, and documenting them—is
essential.
Just Enough Requirements Management shows you how to discover,
prune, and document requirements when you are subjected to tight
schedule constraints. You'll apply just enough process to minimize
risks while still achieving desired outcomes. You'll determine how
many requirements are just enough to satisfy your customers while
still meeting your goals for schedule, budget, and resources.
If your project has insufficient resources to satisfy all the
requirements of your customers, you must read Just Enough
Requirements Management.
