Overview of this book

Difficulty in accurately capturing and managing requirements is the most common cause of software project failure. Learning how to analyze and model requirements and produce specifications that are connected to working code is the single most fundamental step that you can take toward project success. This book focuses on a delineated and structured methodology that will help you analyze requirements and write comprehensive, verifiable specifications. You'll start by learning about the different entities in the requirements domain and how to discover them based on customer input. You’ll then explore tried-and-tested methods such as impact mapping and behavior-driven development (BDD), along with new techniques such as D3 and feature-first development. This book takes you through the process of modeling customer requirements as impact maps and writing them as executable specifications. You’ll also understand how to organize and prioritize project tasks using Agile frameworks, such as Kanban and Scrum, and verify specifications against the delivered code. Finally, you'll see how to start implementing the requirements management methodology in a real-life scenario. By the end of this book, you'll be able to model and manage requirements to create executable specifications that will help you deliver successful software projects.

Chapter 9: The Requirements Life Cycle

In the last few chapters of this book, we have been delving into the nitty-gritty details of system backlogs, task boards, the development life cycle, and verification code. In this chapter, we'll take a high-level view of what we have learned so far. This includes looking at how it all fits together as an integrated, working, Agile methodology within the context of the requirements life cycle stages. In detail, we will be covering the following topics:

  • Revisiting the requirements life cycle
  • Applying the Agile requirements management workflow

By the end of this chapter, you will know how the different techniques and methods presented in this book fit within the canonical requirements management life cycle model. You will also better understand how they all flow together in a continuous, delineated, end-to-end methodology that enables us to convert raw requirements into working code.
