## Description

Buy Software Requirements Essentials: Core Practices for Successful Business Analysis 1 by Wiegers, Karl, Hokanson, Candase (ISBN: 9780138190286) from desertcart's Book Store. Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders.

Review: So, like all the other nerdy BAs around the world, I've couldn't wait to read Karl Wieger and Candase Hokanson's recent book: Software Requirements Essentials. So I'm happy to report that it is as EXCELLENT, as hoped! 🖤 It summarises what I do as a BA working with technology teams building stuff, far better than I've ever done. There's LOTS of things I want to highlight from the book (I've got over 10 tabs marking parts I want to be able to reference easily) but I think the themes made me more happy than "themes" have any right to do. Here are Karl and Candase's underpinning themes for requirements: 💜 Requirements development demands an incremental and iterative approach. 💙 The goal of all specification activities is clear and effective communication. 🩵 Requirements engineering is a collaborative activity. 💚 Quality activities should be pushed to the front. 💛 Risk thinking is essential. 🧡 Change happens. 👆 SUCH a north star of values to aspire to doing great business analysis while building great software! I was very relieved to discover that while they use "feature trees" where I would use a story map, all the practices represented things that I try to do! (In saying that, I've already turned the 20 practices into a checklist to keep me thorough). So, if you want to work in IT development, I could not recommend the book more. And at 156 pages (ignoring appendixes and the index) it is a remarkably easy read for such solid advice. I'm going to keep this book on the shelf by my desk. Which is the highest praise I can offer a book. 📚🖤
Review: Clear, high-level overview of all the things related to requirements in projects. A must read for anyone doing requirements elkcitation and management, even outside software development

Quick reference book for BAs working on software delivery project. This book summarises the best practices a BA should follow. I would also recommend reading the other book from the same author on Software requirements.
