Practical Requirements Management

The requirements playbook practitioners actually need - built from real projects, not theory. After two decades on Australia's most complex rail and infrastructure programmes, Dr Mahesh R Rimal wrote this book as the implementation guide he wished he had at the start of every one of those projects. What's inside (17 chapters, 338 pages):·         The four failure modes that destroy projects before construction begins - and how to diagnose them early·         Elicitation techniques that surface requirements stakeholders don't know they have·         INCOSE SE Handbook v4 and ISO/IEC/IEEE 29148:2018 quality criteria - applied, not just referenced·         IBM DOORS and DOORS Next governance that survives an ONRSR audit·         Traceability architectures used on NSW metro programmes·         AI-assisted requirements engineering - what works, what doesn't, and how to verify AI output·         Requirements migration from Word/Excel into DOORS - the 100% review gate approach·         Verification and validation frameworks for safety-critical environmentsBuilt-in companion tools (free for book readers):·         Requirements Quality Checklist - 25 INCOSE-aligned quality criteria·         Requirements Traceability Matrix Template - pre-built Excel template·         AI Prompt Library - 84 copy-paste prompts for requirements engineers·         SESA Requirements Quality Analyser - score up to 5, 000 requirements inside ExcelWho this is for: Systems engineers, business analysts, project managers, and requirements leads working in rail, infrastructure, defence, or any safety-critical environment where requirements failures have regulatory and contractual consequences.
