Beschreibung

From System Designers to Top Management, Everyone loves a goodstory Once upon a time, it was well understood that stories teachbetter than plain facts. Why then are most software requirementsdocuments a baffling hodge-podge of diagrams, data dictionaries,and bullet points, held together by little more than a name and astaple? Telling Stories teaches you to combine proven standards ofrequirements analysis with the most ancient and effective tool forsharing information, the narrative. Telling Stories simplifies andrefines the classic methods of Structured Analysis, providingorganization, design, and old-fashioned writing advice. Whetheryou?re just getting started or an experienced requirements writer,Telling Stories can help you turn dull, detailed material into anengaging, logical, and readable story, a story that can make thedifference for your project and your career. * Learn why readers believe and remember what they learn fromstories * Work with team members to gather content, tell their stories,and win their support * Use stories to find every requirement * Create diagrams that almost tell the story on their own (whilelooking clear and professional) * Explain everything important about a process * Use precise language to remove the ambiguity fromrequirements * Write a forceful executive summary that stands on its own andsells a project to senior management * Summarize often to keep the reader focused on key issues * Structure the document so every part has a clear place andpurpose
