Software Requirements 2 Review: Great practical advice on requirements - I'm somewhat of a software engineering/process geek. I find the process of creating a product more interesting than the actual code these days (though I like to code). Wiegers' book is THE bible, in my opinion, for eliciting and maintaining requirements. He covers the issues involved in gathering requirements and keeping them up to date, often offering multiple ways to resolve issues. Wiegers, unlike many academic oriented books, fully acknowledges the political and cultural difficulties that arise when trying to institute a requirements program. Much of his advice is practical and he gives good pointers on the highst ROI practices, so you can inject a little at a time, rather than trying to change culture wholesale. I'd give a 4.5 out of 5 if I could, due only to the "Next Steps" sections at the end of each chapter. The "Next Steps" are supposedly be small steps you can take to start using the advice Wiegers offers. Unfortunately, most of the steps start with "Take a page/chapter from your current requirements document...." I've worked at few companies that even have a requirements document, so I'm not sure how useful the "Next Steps" really are. But, that complaint aside, this book is the best combination of reference information for techniques and advice on how to use them on the job. Review: Enlightening Read for a Requirements Novice Like Me - When I first purchased this book back in 2006, I went through most of it fairly quickly, and even downloaded some of Wiegers supplementary material from processimpact.com. Some of my colleagues took notice and together we formed a mini-workshop using the downloaded materials, which we used to gather requirements for an enhancement to one of the applications I assist in managing. A merger and subsequent reorganization later, I found the time to finish the book. I recommend it for the developer or technical manager who finds themselves in a project that lacks thorough requirements development. The book uses appropriate tone and terminology to address its' intended audience; it is neither too simplistic nor overly dense. It has enough supplementary material to preclude the need to build a requirements development process from scratch without looking too much like a cookbook. Its' bibliography includes several classics and many references not familiar to me. All in all, a balanced book about requirements development and management. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 0735618798 | | Best Sellers Rank | #3,398,299 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #860 in Management Information Systems #2,190 in Enterprise Applications #4,072 in Software Development (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (81) | | Dimensions | 7.5 x 1.5 x 9 inches | | Edition | Subsequent | | ISBN-10 | 9780735618794 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0735618794 | | Item Weight | 2.4 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 544 pages | | Publication date | March 26, 2003 | | Publisher | Microsoft Press | ## Images ![Software Requirements 2 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51qXytgx6xL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great practical advice on requirements *by C***L on August 11, 2003* I'm somewhat of a software engineering/process geek.

The content has a great balance between practical advice and theory, so it won't burden you with information applicable to 5% (e.g. huge projects) of your daily work 2. It is well written, both in content and edition style (format) so it is very easy to read and understand quickly 3. It has references to standards and literacy but it is just to illustrate and not so heavily that makes it hard to read To sum up, its one of the very best SW Engineering books I've read so far and so that I do recommend it.
