Optimize Your Entire Requirements Process-and Use Requirements to Build
More Successful Software
Using IBM(r) Rational(r) RequisitePro(r), you can systematically improve the
way you create and maintain requirements-and use those requirements to
build more effective, higher-quality software. Now, for the first time,
there’s a comprehensive, hands-on guide to optimally using RequisitePro
in real-world development environments.
Utilizing a start-to-finish sample project, requirements expert Peter
Zielczynski introduces an organized, best-practice approach to managing
requirements and shows how to implement every step with RequisitePro.
You’ll walk through planning, eliciting, and clarifying stakeholder
requirements; building use cases and other key project documents;
managing changing requirements; transforming requirements into designs;
and much more. Every stage of the process is illuminated with examples,
realistic artifacts, and practical solutions.
This book is an invaluable resource for everyone who creates
requirements, and everyone who relies on them: business analysts,
systems analysts, project managers, architects, designers, developers,
and testers alike.
Coverage includes:
- Overcoming the three leading causes of project failure: lack of user
input, incomplete requirements and specifications, and poorly managed
change
- Understanding each type of software requirement-how they
interrelate, and what makes a good requirement
- Establishing a Requirements Management Plan that describes how
requirements are created and handled throughout the project lifecycle
- Developing a Vision document that can drive your project from
beginning to end
- Creating high-quality use cases
- Using requirements as the basis for system design
- Leveraging RequisitePro features for improved project management
- Integrating requirements management with the IBM Rational Unified
Process
