Détails: Requirement elicitation is the first step in gathering user requirements; it is the process of understanding and acquiring the business needs of all involved stakeholders. Getting the right requirements from the right people at the right time for your project is a critical success factor for any IT project.

Nearly every study over the past 40 years has pinpointed missing and misunderstood IT requirements as the primary cause of IT project failures and overruns. This book presents 7 requirements definition techniques that evolved from our work with customers to meet that specific challenge.

This book is a continuation of our Requirements Elicitation series. The previously published “Requirements Elicitation Interviews and Workshops – Simply Put” deals with soft skills (i.e. how to run a requirements workshop) needed to elicit requirements. This book defines the concept of requirements elicitation and explains why it is necessary. It presents business analysis techniques for identifying stakeholders, analyzing relevant business problems, helping stakeholders discover what they need and want the solution to deliver, and a set of key questions you need answered to initiate and manage the elicitation process. Applying these techniques will significantly improve your requirements elicitation outcomes.

So what are you going to learn? This book presents the nuts and bolts of “requirements elicitation” which will help you:
