Customer Review: Defining requirements for software gurus and the rest of us
This book is eminently readable for all practitioners who have to deal with the challenge of identifying and adequately defining requirements. While the focus of this book is predominantly software, the techniques utilized are equally applicable to other industries. Whether you’re dealing with design, process, business or regulatory requirements, having a controlled methodology for assembling, describing, classifying, revising and prioritizing is an oft undervalued organizational asset. Goldsmith makes a significant contribution to the dialog of requirements definition.
