Over the years I’ve found that many software organizations struggle with the same issues when it comes to requirements. Such troublesome topics include:
- how to define project scope;
- the connection between use cases and functional requirements;
- distinguishing requirements from design; and…
- how to use requirements management tools effectively.
Some of the questions I’m asked repeatedly don’t have simple answers that fit all situations, such as:
- “How detailed should the requirements be?†and…
- “Is it okay to duplicate requirements in the spec?â€
– Karl Wiegers
This presentation addresses ten such “thorny issues†and tricky topics in requirements engineering. Karl will explain why each topic is important, and he will offer some practical advice about how to deal with each of these issues on your projects.
