Written in an engaging style and relevant for any software analyst or designer, Mastering the Requirements Process provides a powerful and useful guide to defining more complete software requirements that lead to better software overall. It's also filled with innovative advice.
The heart of this book is the authors' Volere Requirements Process Model, a step-by-step guide to gathering your requisites. Throughout this book, the authors use this process to explicate a single case study--a system for a municipality that will optimize the de-icing of roadways during snowy weather. Along the way, the book provides a solid guide to identifying and refining requirements, both functional and nonfunctional (such as performance and ease of use).
There are many excellent ideas in the book, including the notion of fitness for your requirements, which can be later used to track whether the software is successful. The book also wisely separates technology from requirements so that analysts can concentrate on understanding and modeling business problems instead of moving right away to the nuts and bolts of implementation. Even if you don't adopt the Volere model in toto, you can benefit from the concepts of "trawling" (a metaphor for the requirements-gathering process), quality gateways (in which tentative requirements are evaluated for inclusion in a project), and the wise use of patterns to help simplify the process.
Anchored by numerous examples (including many samples of successful requirements), the book provides an appealing mix of new ideas along with a remarkably clear presentation. In short, Mastering the Requirements Process provides useful advice that can make the project specification building phase of the software process easier and more robust. It provides the first steps for improving overall software quality for your organization. --Richard Dragan

Fatal Fundamental Flaws (cont).......2007-08-03
this book has not only the flaws identified below by F.C.Passavant - in addition it has inconsistencies in terminology, lots of ambiguity. it was difficult to map described precesses to those regarded in the field (i.e. IATF Release 3.1)
I found "Requirements Engineering" by Elizabeth Hull, Kenneth Jackson, and Jeremy Dick a much better choice.
Practical and good to keep it as a reference.......2007-05-16
I found this book very practical, it's an excellent source of examples and cases. Even I would recommend it as a text book for university students.
Have solid requirements in place before you begin.......2007-01-21
The cost of undetected errors in software requirements can be extremely high. To start with, it could happen to build the wrong product.
So, any care must be taken to have strong foundations in place; this is still the case if you plan to go Agile.
If you like Steve McConnell's 'Rapid Development' and 'Code Complete', this book is a perfect complement covering the early phases of the software process.
In a sentence, this book is a must for anyone dealing with software engineering, from the developer to the manager.
Good book, gorgeous annexes.......2007-01-13
I've been reading and studying this book for over 4 months as the main book of a requirements engineering subject of a master in informatics.
Most chapters in this book are good (7.- Functional requirements / 8.- Nonfunctional requirements), others are gorgeous (3.- Project Blastoff), and others just a little poor (5.- Trawling for requirements).
But the most interesting part of this book are the 164 pages of the two annexes. They are just a excellent way for approaching to the requirements process with many examples that can guide anyone to a final solution in any requirements problem.
Learn how to write useful requirements.......2006-06-09
I decided to read Mastering the Requirements Process (2nd Edition) because, while I am an experienced software developer/consultant, I have always struggled with writing requirements. It's not the writing itself that I find difficult it's the feeling that I'm wasting my time. You see, while I know that well documented requirements are critically important in any project, I often feel like I'm somehow missing the point when I sit down and struggle through a requirements document. I don't mind working hard and I don't mind wasting time but I can't bear the though of working hard to waste time! So, I was excited to read "Requirements are not meant to place an extra burden on your project. Instead, they are there to make your project run more smoothly" in chapter one. Yes! Exactly!
In this book I found a very thorough and well-presented requirements process. Robertson and Robertson clearly speak from years of experience.
The contents are as follows:
Chapter 1 What Are Requirements?
Chapter 2 The Requirements
Chapter 3 Project Blastoff
Chapter 4 Event-Driven Use Cases
Chapter 5 Trawling for Requirements
Chapter 6 Scenarios and Requirements
Chapter 7 Functional Requirements
Chapter 8 Nonfunctional Requirements
Chapter 9 Fit Criteria
Chapter 10 Writing the Requirements
Chapter 11 The Quality Gateway
Chapter 12 Prototyping the Requirements
Chapter 13 Reusing Requirements
Chapter 14 Reviewing the Specification
Chapter 15 Whither Requirements?
You could teach a full college course from this text. Rather than use the full Volere process, I plan to merge pieces of it into my company's existing methodology. For me, I was happy just to walk away with some new methods to 1) make my requirements useful and 2) ensure my requirements are complete.
[...]
Highly recommended.

Customer Reviews:
Pretty Good PM Resource.......2007-03-09
I am fairly new to the PM role where I am responsible for other's work, so I purchased this book as a reference tool and so far it has helped in terms of having examples that I can start with instead of starting from scratch.
Other than that, I have relied on my leadership and team building skills to meet deadlines which proves to be more important that having the pretty models, charts, etc.
Good Textbook.......2007-03-08
This book was assigned as THE textbook for my graduate Level Project Management class. It is a good read, great at presenting its ideas, and easy to understand. It unfortunately talks only of a couple of project management techniques vaguely and what examples are included are very short with little or no good background. I'd sell this book as a good starter for those looking to gain understanding in PM, but with the understanding that other books would be needed for true enlightenment in particular areas.
On-time delivery.......2006-07-20
product came in good condition and on-time.
that was all that I wanted.
Advancing the industry standard.......2006-02-17
I've followed the maturation of the VPM books now up to version 3 and continue to be impressed by the straight forward approach to project management the authors use. The dual V takes the industry standard to a thrid dimension and truly captures systems of systems development. A must read for any technical project manager.
Visualizing Project Management 3rd Edition.......2006-02-17
Visualizing Project Management, 3rd Edition is an excellent read! Throughout my career I have led or have been part of projects whereby risk management was defined as risk statusing. Real risk identification and their impacts to projects were ignored. In Visualizing Project Management 3rd Edition, the book focuses on the technical aspects of projects which is critical to project succcess and has a whole chapter dedicated to risk Management (chapter 13, Opportunities and their Risks). This was extremely valuable to me. Now that I have read this book, I am eager to tackle my next project.
Book Description
Get the only comprehensive book about integrated practice in architecture, which is the collaborative design, construction and life-cycle management of buildings. Chapters are clearly organized around critical issues in integrated architectural practice, including teambuilding, project planning, communication, risk management, and implementation.
Book Description
Tens of thousands of readers rely on James Lewis's classic Project Planning, Scheduling & Control for hands-on help in bringing projects in on time and on budget. Now, this higher-level guide takes project managers beyond basic skills. Using the flexible and down-to-earth approach for which Lewis is famed, it covers advanced topics such as identifying customer requirements using QFD (quality function deployment); allocating resources for improved scheduling applying systems thinking; and using decision-support tools in project management.
Customer Reviews:
Great end to end reading.......2003-07-05
Very easy and fun reading. Hits all the right points that relate to project management. Examples are good, lots of creative ideas that I wasn't aware of and good reference to other books and material.
I would have liked to see more content on systems thinking and how they are applied in real life. Other than that, it is very un-common for me to read a book end to end. I enjoyed - and learned.
Excellant Reading of the Finer Points of Project Management.......2000-03-12
This is a excellent overview for General Management, Stakeholders, PMs and PM Team Members to used not only as an overview of Project Management, but as an advance guidance in the planning, scheduling and controlling methodology. Mr. Lewis's approach to Systems Thinking vice the linear thinking is well addressed. The Chapter on Managing Quality in Projects is excellent and stresses planning, customer needs, rework, and cost should be reviewed at all levels of the Enterprise from General Management to individuals striving to complete a project. I will place this book next to my copy his book, "The Project Manager's Desk Reference."
Good High Level Concepts.......2000-02-19
I found this to be a good high level view of the PM discipline, its concepts, and processes. The section on Risk Management provided a good overview. All chapters are "overview" level, but the book has a good reference section for further reading. I'd refer readers to Lewis' The Project Managers Desk Reference" for more detailed reading. I do find I refer to this book and am glad I added it to my library.
Clear Text on Advanced Project Managment.......1999-11-21
I found this bookto be a very useful source of information associated with Project Managment. Lewis's ideas associated with Innovation in projects is very helpful in the R+D project world.

Getting Real about Project Management.......2007-03-15
If you've ever owned an animal, you know what it's like to have expectations that don't match "reality"--there's what "the book" says about how your animal should behave, and then there's what it actually does. So it seems fitting that Schmaltz should use an animal--an elephant, to be precise--as a metaphor for a project, and then weave a lovely, poetic whole about the "behavior" of projects that contains more actual truths than other books with lots of charts, graphs and examples designed to make you an expert, of sorts, on the subject.
If you've never actually managed a project, this book might seem confusing to you. If you only manage projects that deal with "stuff" (construction projects, for example), the metaphors might not seem as apt. But if you manage projects that engineer large systems out of computer equipment and "thin air," then you will feel right at home with this meander through the shifting landscape of projects of this type.
In fact, you will be amazed that someone else has observed the same things you have--that these types of projects do not seem to be reliably predictable, no matter how much effort we put into making them "behave!" Schmaltz does what only a master can do: Identifies the patterns hidden within the unpredictability, and presents them in a way which evokes a sense of familiarity in the reader. I had many déjà vu, been-there-done-that, and wow-that-happened-to-someone-else-too experiences reading this book.
In so many ways, one of the great values of this book to me was simply in confirming my experiences. It's not me, I can finally say, and it's not even the projects, that lead to deviations from expectation. It's actually the nature of our expectations themselves regarding the inherent manageability of projects that is at issue. I need to get past the idea that there is a definitive "book" or "method" to go by, and get on with making projects actually work! Schmaltz' offering went a long way toward preparing me to do that.
The chapter on motivation ("Can a project leader fan the embers of commitment into a dedicated, high-performance flame?") alone made the book worth reading for me. I also very much appreciated his treatment of "generosity" in the interpretation of events ("The most generous possible interpretation transforms difference from definition into information.") Schmaltz' concepts have real-life applications; I will never look at projects in the same way again after reading this book.
I recommend a companion purchase: "Taming Wicked Projects," an audiobook by Amy Schwab, Schmaltz' business partner and wife. Schwab elaborates in this CD on many of the topics and metaphors presented in The Blind Men and the Elephant (so I suggest reading the book first), and extends and adds to them with her own considerable experience in the field. I do hope you get as much out of these works as I did.
The critical human dimension of project work.......2005-06-02
This quick, well-written, and thought provoking book addresses the human dimension of project work too often lost behind GANTT charts, change controls, and scheduling tools. Schmaltz serves up uncomfortable realities about the world of project work. By confronting us with our Master/Slave frame of reference, he helps us understand how we unwittingly enslave ourselves to our Masters and how we can free ourselves with no one else's permission. Schmaltz reveals what great project managers have known forever about making their projects really work well -- clarity of purpose and strength of relationship are essential, and the responsibility and power to achieve those essential elements lie in each individual's hands. As he says in the preface, if you want a book to tell you what to do and how to make your projects turn out perfectly, take a pass. If you want a book with a bulleted list of how-to's, keep looking. If you are interested in shifting your perspective on your projects and learning how to approach them in a way that leaves you the master of your own experience, this book is for you.
Incomprehensible and Rambling.......2005-05-05
I don't want to detract from what others got from reading this book. Judging from the other reviews, it was obviously well-received by many. However, I found this book to be almost incomprehensible and pointless. The author rambles around from meaningless subject to meaningless subject, all propped up by a cute but clever theme of blind men and an elephant. I finished the book and went off scratching my head as to what I'd learned. Perhaps I'm too left-brained. I loaned it to someone else and they brought the book back half-read and said they thought the author needed counseling.
Find the Juicy Part of Every Project You Do.......2003-10-21
Here's a new way to look at complex development work:
Your project is an invisible elephant. It's standing in a room, waiting to be revealed by a group of groping teammates.
Like the six blind men from Indostan in John Godfrey Saxe's famous poem, "The Blind Men and the Elephant," we encounter pieces of projects, rarely the whole elephant. We grasp whatever we can -- an ear, a tail, a trunk, a leg, a tusk, a broad, flat side.
Based on what we grasp -- our piece of the project -- we extrapolate an understanding of the whole: a fan, a rope, a snake, a tree, a spear, a wall.
Author David A. Schmaltz, in his book named after the poem, develops these analogies in terms of project experience.
We encounter a fan that brings us fresh air, a rope that binds us together, a snake that abuses our trust, a tree that evolves in structure above and beneath the surface, a spear that puts us on the defensive, a wall that challenges our personal progress. A chapter is devoted to each analogy.
This isn't a storybook, though. These simple metaphors are touchstones for Schmaltz's broad exploration of what makes projects meaningful. Schmaltz sheds light on the dark matter of project management -- the stuff that blocks us from succeeding on projects as individuals and as teams. He even leads us through the panicked self-talk that runs through a manager's head at the start of a project.
With rich writing that's rare in management books, Schmaltz gives us a 360 view of project management itself -- project management is this book's invisible elephant. The elephant emerges.
You won't find any worksheets, diagrams, flow charts, procedures, instructions, or textbook problems in this book. Schmaltz gives us something more valuable and memorable: fresh ways to think about how we approach and manage projects.
For example, managers should encourage each person to find a personal project within each project, something personally "juicy" to sustain interest and make the effort valuable. Going beyond the stated objectives of a project, each of us needs to ask ourselves, "What do you want?" -- and to keep asking that until our personal goals emerge. These goals don't compete with the team's purpose -- they bind us to the project's success. This is the process of what Schmaltz calls "finding your wall."
Just as managers should encourage this kind of buy-in rather than trying to externally motivate a team, managers should not impose a prefabricated structure onto a team. Schmaltz argues that when people find a personally juicy goal within a project, they will strive to structure their efforts in an efficient, organic manner -- without taking that twenty-volume project methodology off the shelf.
On a person-to-person level, Schmaltz asserts that despite the risk of getting cheated by snake-like deceivers, project members are most wise to interpret people's actions generously, assuming the best and freely offering trust and help. Using the results of a computer programming competition in which the Prisoner's Dilemma was solved by having the imprisoned conspirators refuse to implicate each other, Schmaltz shows that offering trust as a first principle can lead to bigger win-wins, more often.
Schmaltz consults through his firm, True North project guidance strategies, based in Walla Walla, Washington (see http://www.projectcommunity.com). He hosts the Heretic's Forum at http://pc.wiki.net, a Web space designed to "capture dangerously sane ideas." In addition to his periodic newsletter, Compass, he has published one previous book, This Isn't a Cookbook.
That invisible elephant, the powerful analogy at the center of this book, will enrich the way you approach new projects and reconsider problems -- especially the parts of problems that remain invisible to you on current projects. As Schmaltz wishes in a sort of benediction, "May this elephant emerge whenever you engage."
"People and Collaboration" Over "Process and Controls".......2003-08-30
This is a book you have to read, by this I mean it is both an important text that should be read and a book you can not dip-into or skim. You have to read it carefully to absorb the concepts that build upon each other to provide great insights into how projects actually work. The descriptions are rich and complex but because the book is small (under 130 pages) it never feels overwhelming and the topics are well covered but not repeated or over stated.
Recognition is growing around the fact that successful projects are more about people, collaboration and communications than creating plans and following processes. The success and growth of agile methodologies in software development is testimony to this shift in priorities and through this book, David Schmaltz explains why this is the case and offers suggestions for improving project outcomes.
The clever use of the "Blind Men" poem ties the main concepts of the book together in an engaging manner and provides an uncomfortably apt analogy for many of the classic project management struggles. This book provides valuable guidance for project managers and highlights the key areas to focus on to achieve better project outcomes.

Why and how to create a project management initiative .......2007-06-27
A very good book on why and how to create a project management initiative. The author does a good job of building the business case for project management. He then goes on to explain how to build the initiative. He discusses learning programs, the skills necessary for successful project management, the processes, the tools, and practices useful in developing a project management program. Author does a good job of explaining what to do, why you should do it, and how to do it. I recommend it to anyone looking to improve their project management skills.
Product Description
A common perception of risk is that it is something to be avoided and minimised. But if they are to succeed in the long term, businesses also need to remind themselves that risk-taking is a powerful source of reward and opportunity.

Book Description
To get the job you need to succeed at the job interview
A certification, a resume, networking or other means can open the door for an interview, but to actually get the job you must succeed in the job interview and this book will show you how.
Master the interview
This book will help you highlight your experience and will help you present yourself as the best qualified candidate by discussing frequently asked questions and teaching you how to answer them with examples, guidelines and tips.
A single incorrect answer can rule you out, but a couple of right answers can put you at the top of the list. This book will give you packed answers that will give you that edge. It will also alert you about wrong answers to some of the questions.
You will learn how to use the job interview to your benefit and how to display the knowledge and qualifications that the hiring company is looking to hire
The book show how to transform the interview in a conversation and how to ask questions that are going to be considered meaningful and interesting.
The answers in this book have been prepared to deliver information that you want the interviewer to know and that will present your experience and skills in the best light.
Real questions and winning answers
The book presents actual questions from Project Management job interviews that are asked to experienced and junior project managers and are the questions that you will be asked if you apply for a Project manager position.
These are questions that you will not find in the PMP exam or in a PMP preparation book since the those questions test for knowledge and while you will get that ttype of questions, most job interviewers today ask behavioral based questions formulated to test for experience and for how you will react in a work situation.
The answers provided will impress in the interviewer that you not only know the theory of project management but that you can actually practice it successfully
Who should read this book?
Any job seeker looking for a project manager position, team lead or middle management position in information technology or other disciplines.
The project management theory part of the book can be used for any Project Management practitioner that needs a quick refresher on project management methodology and techniques.

I have a job thanks to this book.
As a recently divorced woman with two kids I had to go back to the job force and was really rusty in the whole job finding process and was getting no where fast. After coming back from my third job interview with no prospects of a call back I started looking for some help and decided to give this book a try. I was skeptical that they could actually have the answers for me but the book quickly tells you how you can apply the answers to your own situation. In my first interview after I read the book, I tried one of the answers and seeing that I was getting smiles and nodding at the other side of the table I used their suggestions for two more questions and lo and behold I was offered the job the next day!.
