–Roxanne Miller, President, Requirements Quest

–Doreen Evans, Robbins Gioia Inc.
“The best book on requirements just got better! The third edition’s range of new topics expands the project circumstances it covers. Using requirements in agile environments is perhaps the most significant, because everyone involved still needs to understand what a new system must do–and agile developers are now an audience who ought to have a good grasp of what’s in this book.”

I particularly enjoy the examples and many hands-on solutions that can be easily implemented in real-life scenarios. A must-read, not only for requirements engineers and analysts but also for project managers.”
–Dr. Christof Ebert, Managing Director, Vector Consulting Services
