Book Reviews of Mastering the Requirements Process (2nd Edition)

Book Review: This gives the vital "how"
Summary: 5 Stars

This book emphasises the rigour, evolutionary nature and structure of requirements. For those in a rush, the book has a very brief and useful summary at the end of each chapter. The Requirements Specification Template is at the heart/brain of this book. The template includes the Requirements Shell, which is filled-in for each individual requirement. The book explains the processes involved in producing the template. Requirements are structured in a very holistic manner and they have the concept of "potential requirements"; requirements are not real until they have passed through the Quality Gateway. On the downside, the book seems rather lengthy with much repetition but is worth its weight in gold for the Appendices: A "A Volere Requirements Process Model", B "Volere Requirements Specification Template". Also, the practical experience and humour of the authors shine through. Note: "Volere" is the Italian word for "to wish" or "to want".
