Agile Software Requirements

"We need better approaches to understanding and managing software requirements, and Dean provides them in this book. He draws ideas from three very useful intellectual pools: classical management practices, Agile methods, and lean product development. By combining the strengths of these three approaches, he has produced something that works better than any one in isolation."

-From the Foreword by Don Reinertsen, President of Reinertsen & Associates; author of Managing the Design Factory; and leading expert on rapid product development

Requirements gathering is a proven best practice for serious application development. However, requirements and Agile methods have rarely coexisted peacefully. For many enterprises considering Agile approaches, the absence of effective Agile requirements processes has been a showstopper. In Agile Software Requirements, Dean Leffingwell shows exactly how to create effective requirements in Agile environments.

This book will help you leverage the benefits of Agile without sacrificing the value of effective requirements gathering. You'll find proven solutions you can apply right now-whether you're a software executive, project/program manager, architect, team leader, developer, or tester.
