Learn proven, real-world techniques for specifying software requirements with this practical reference. It details 30 requirement "patterns" offering realistic examples for situation-specific guidance for building effective software requirements. Each pattern explains what a requirement needs to convey, offers potential questions to ask, points out potential pitfalls, suggests extra requirements, and other advice. This book also provides guidance on how to write other kinds of information that belong in a requirements specification, such as assumptions, a glossary, and document history and references, and how to structure a requirements specification. A disturbing proportion of computer systems are judged to be inadequate; many are not even delivered; more are late or over budget. Studies consistently show one of the single biggest causes is poorly defined requirements: not properly defining what a system is for and what it's supposed to do. Even a modest contribution to improving requirements offers the prospect of saving businesses part of a large sum of wasted investment. This guide emphasizes this important requirement need--determining what a software system needs to do before spending time on development. Expertly written, this book details solutions that have worked in the past, with guidance for modifying patterns to fit individual needs--giving developers the valuable advice they need for building effective software requirements

This book is being used by my company as the Requirements Bible and it's working really well for us. I highly recommend it. Well-written, easy to read, easy to use, and has great examples.
I'm a 20+ year veteran IT professional who finds it hard to keep up with all the latest trends. I just didn't know which book to reach for. This book helped me catch up on a few things. I haven't had a class in business analysis in at least a decade if not more, so if you are in the same boat, you need this book.
If you are relatively new to the field, this book will give you great templates and give the quality of your documentation a huge boost.
