The book wants to solve one major problem: How to organize the steps a business analyst takes in order to cover requirements of a software solution, be it a product or a service.
The Requirements Development Guidebook suggests a comprehensive framework for software requirements development.
This framework will help business analysts of all levels of experience deliver complete requirements free of gaps, missed details, or inconsistencies. It does so while at the same time, helps business analysts organize their thoughts and address requirements in a meaningful order, so that teams that consume the requirements can begin their work faster and progress more efficiently.
The book presents a roadmap organized around stations. Each station relates to a particular objective and includes requirements elicitation techniques, lists of questions, the most useful analysis tools that can be applied to the elicited requirements, and the output expected from that station.
The book is supported by a case study where the use of the roadmap is demonstrated. A chapter at the end of the book is dedicated to explain the analysis tools used in the book. Tools are allocated to the software aspect they best relate to and are demonstrated using examples.
