Exploring Requirements: Quality Before Design

by Donald C. Gause

Overview

Finally, here's an innovative book that gives you the understanding you need to give people the solutions they want.

The collaborative team of Gause and Weinberg tells how you can assure the requirements are right — before the product is designed.

Written by two authorities in the field, this book is a collection of ideas developed, refined, and tested during their more than sixty combined years of work with both large and small organizations.

The techniques formulated in Exploring Requirements are not merely theoretical; they have been used effectively to develop a wide range of products — from computer software to furniture, books, and buildings.

Systems analysts and anyone involved with the challenges of the requirements process will greatly benefit from this book.
