Benefits the Reader Will Gain


You, dear reader, will be able to improve your skills and productivity in the following ways from reading this book (and from using it as a reference):

  1. You will be able to define better requirements-with more detail, precision, and clarity, and with less ambiguity.

  2. You will be able to write requirements more quickly and with less effort, by taking advantage of the effort already put into the book (reuse!).

  3. You will recognize extra topics that requirements should specify, further improving their results and making them more complete.

  4. You will be better able to organize a requirements specification and to write general sections (such as the glossary).

As a result you, your colleagues, and the organization you work for will see further benefits:

  1. It is easier to estimate the effort needed to build a specified system.

  2. Development and testing teams will find it easier to understand the requirements.

  3. The resulting system will better reflect the organization's needs, potentially yielding considerable extra return on the investment in it. What price can you put on avoiding a big mistake?

  4. Fundamental mistakes, misunderstandings, and omissions will be spotted earlier-with potentially huge savings, given that fixing a defect during the design phase costs roughly ten times more than during requirements, and during development ten times more again.
