The End

This brings us to the end of our book. Throughout this text we have tried to show you the little things about requirementsthe small quality issuesthat make such a large difference to your work. Seemingly minor things, such as searching for a measurement for "an attractive product," using apprenticing to understand what the guy on the factory floor is trying to achieve, or sketching a Low-Fidelity prototype. can make a major differencea difference that makes your work with requirements all the more effective and enjoyable.

Please use this book as we intended: not as a set of canonical rules that must be obeyed, but as a reliable companion to intelligent work. And as you work, take the time to observe (or, better still, measure) the difference that having good requirements makes to both your development efforts and your products. It is a difference worth pursuing.
