Software Requirements Essentials
New Book: Software Requirements Essentials
Core Practices for Business Analysis Success

Software Requirements Essentials by Karl Wiegers and Candase Hokanson is a concise, focused, and highly readable book that describes 20 requirements practices that every software team should perform. These practices apply regardless of what type of product you're building or what development life cycle the team is following. These core practices help teams understand the business problem, engage the right participants, articulate effective solutions, communicate information among stakeholders, implement the right functionality in the right sequence, and adapt to change. If you don't have time to read the big books on requirements or business analysis, read this short one.

If you're looking for a solid grounding in software requirements development and management, this training opportunity is for you. I've personally delivered my 2-day course "In Search of Excellent Requirements" to some 5000 students at companies and government agencies of all kinds worldwide.
