Have you ever delivered software that satisfied all of the project specifications, but failed to meet any of the customers' expectations? Without formal, verifiable requirements--and a system for managing them--the result is often a gap between what developers think they're supposed to build and what customers think they're going to get. Too often, lessons about software requirements engineering processes are formal or academic, and not of value to real-world, professional development teams. In MORE ABOUT SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS: THORNY ISSUES AND PRACTICAL ADVICE, the author of Software Requirements, Second Edition, describes even more practical techniques for gathering and managing the software requirements that help you meet project specifications and customer expectations. A leading speaker and consultant in the field of requirements engineering, Karl Wiegers takes questions raised by other professional software developers and analysts as a basis for the practical solutions and best practices offered in this guide. Succinct and immediately useful, this book is a must-have for developers and analysts.

A good complement to Software Requirements book - 2008-06-16
Reviewer Rating:
This book is easier to read than the book that it is the sequel to and has specific topics. They may or may not add value to your life, but does add value to the original book to get a little more insight into how real life works on software projects.

Very useful to keep as reference, easy to read as well - 2008-01-07

I found it easy to read and very quickly full of my own highlighted pages and sticky notes for reference. This book will be in my must reread shelf at my desk. Since gathering requirements is a huge part of any quality product this book will help you get your hands around the task.

Yes, I gave it 5 stars - 2009-03-08
Reviewer Rating:
May be this valuation is a little bit personal, but I gave 5 stars without second thought. This books showed me how was I incorrect in my early projects by gathering requirements as a dumbest person ever. I felt I learned a lot from it. Well, something what I "learned" I learn the hard way on practice, but it was very good and pleasant to find that my habits of requirements gathering described as "correct" ones in the book.
