Requirements-Led Project Management: Discovering David’s Slingshot (paperback)

Project managers aim to produce a product that will at a minimum meet their

client’s needs, and hopefully, enthral the customer. These expert authors have

spent considerable time teaching software professionals about the importance

of an effective requirements gathering process. It is their impression based on

significant experience that many project managers make less than optimal use

of requirements. The book addresses requirements activities from the angle of

how they contribute to project management (and ultimately project success).

The authors believe that like David’s slingshot, the relatively simple tool of

requirements, when in the right hands, can produce results far beyond its cost.

They also hope that requirements equip the reader to tame a few giants of his

or her own.
