Introduction:

Requirements are the cornerstone of a Business Analyst’s work. Requirements are elicited, defined, communicated, validated, documented, modeled, baselined, categorized, interpreted, analyzed, traced, managed and changed.  
Requirements are the “necessary and sufficient properties of a business system that will ensure the business goals and objectives are met”.  Getting It Right, Business Requirements Analysis Tools and Techniques provides an excellent overview of the process of requirements analysis and the tools and techniques to adequately analyze and manage requirements.  It is one of a volume of books in the Business Analysis Essential Library series.
