The Requirements Dilemma: It's Hard Work

摘要

The ability to write "good" Product Requirements is an often-neglected skill. Perhaps because the task of creating a complete set of Product Requirements is so daunting, project teams often turn to tool vendors for a "silver-bullet" solution. The problem is that while requirement management tools do help organize the data, they do nothing to improve the quality of the requirements. This paper addresses how to develop the skill of writing requirements by introducing a set of simple practices to the project team, including terminology, notation and rules.
