Managing Software Requirements: A Use Case Approach

This text analyzes critical causes of failure for software projects and offers a practical approach for building systems that meet customers' needs on time and under budget. Leffingwell (a software business consultant) and Widrig (a technical writer) offer their own war stories and a comprehensive case study to help illustrate topics including the five steps of problem analysis, managing project scope, and agile requirements methods.
