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.

Summary

This chapter brought together the techniques, methods, and processes we've examined so far in this book. A comprehensive requirements management methodology should address all the stages of the traditional life cycle. In the first section of this chapter, we explained how each requirements management stage was dealt with in this book. In the second section, we iterated how each lesson of this book can be brought together in an integrated workflow that allows us to start with raw requirements and end up with verified and working code, which is the main purpose of this book.

This chapter recapped, summarized, and enhanced everything we've learned about in this book. This should help you understand how different techniques and methods flow together in an integrated methodology that enables us to deliver working code from raw requirements.

In previous chapters, we addressed individual chunks of the requirements management puzzle. In this chapter, we took a step...
