Description
Failure of an IT system often stems from poor management of requirements throughout the system life cycle. Properly defining and implementing requirements from the beginning is key to completing IT projects better, faster, and at less cost.
Managing IT Systems Requirements provides practical guidelines for successfully writing, defining, analyzing, and managing IT systems requirements. This comprehensive book provides a thorough understanding of the requirements management process, extensive coverage of managing and analyzing requirements, useful management and analysis tools, and industry-proven techniques and best practices for requirements elicitation, specification, verification and validation, and control.
You'll Learn How to:
- Identify new roles for customers, users, stakeholders, analysts, and system developers in defining and understanding requirements
- Gather and organize user needs and translate them into a structure to be automated
- Apply a framework for defining, analyzing, and managing systems requirements
- Integrate requirements testing at each phase of system development
- Communicate systems requirements to inform and empower team members and reduce risk of errors
- Manage requirements throughout the system life cycle
Features of this Comprehensive Handbook:
- Real-world practical examples and case studies
- Exercises and checklists to reinforce learning
- Extensive coverage of available tools for managing and analyzing requirements
- Guidelines for writing correct and testable requirements
- Techniques and best practices for requirements elicitation, specification, verification and validation, and control
- Guidelines for IT system integration - software, hardware, and telecommunication
- Requirements model, prototyping, and related CASE tools
