The Practical Guide to Agile Requirements Enginering
Tips for Communicating & Documenting Requirements
About the Book
Business analysis and requirements engineering in an agile environment has its own rules. The goal is clear: development teams can solve almost anything if they can just identify and communicate the requirements. This book explains the agile RE framework req42 and uses a complete product example to show how you can get to grips with requirements just-in-time and deliver successful products to your customers and users. Over 100 practical tips and answers to many FAQs make the book a useful companion for your product developments.
