Ralph Young has written an excellent guide for those who must understand and manage their customer's requirements. And that means just about everyone in the systems and software world. --Roger Pressman
Requirements analysis and management is finally receiving the attention it deserves as a key factor in the success of systems and software development projects.

The requirements practices described in this book enable you to redirect resources to satisfy customers' real business needs. Together, these practices provide a proven framework and process that help keep projects on the right track and ensure that requirements are addressed properly throughout a project's life cycle.
