Visual Models for Software Requirements (Developer Best Practices) Review: Visual Models for Software Requirements helps remove inherent risks with IT projects from the PM's perspective - This is the most comprehensive and understandable implementation of the complete set of BA tools I have ever seen. You can start using the framework immediately because the rules for applying the toolset to the real world environment are very organised but not over-burdened with non-value adding baggage. I have been looking for several months for best practice BA implementation references in order to remove/reduce risk to IT projects. BABoK and several other texts purchased from desertcart have been used as a basis for my research but with the discovery of this text all the information I had picked up before suddenly all came together for me. I am now drafting up a framework for what constitutes best practice in the BA environment and integrating it with how to run a project using PRINCE2. I am amazed at how little thought exists within either PMBoK or PRINCE2 about integrating the BS work into an IT project. Review: Good Book on Requirements with the "Big Picture" in mind - This is another excellent book from Microsoft Press! Software requirements remains one of the greatest challenges in software engineering. Using visual models for software requirements can help a great deal. This book goes over using visual models in detail. In particular, RML is used in this book. RML is powerful in that it takes a more holistic view in modeling software requirements (eg. it takes into account the bigger picture through categorizing requirements around objects, people, systems and data. Unlike UML, RML gives a more complete picture of what you're trying to build and who and what is impacted. Don't get me wrong though, UML is still good to use as a reasonable foundation in defining software requirements. However, if you are concerned about your business stakeholders when defining requirements you may want to give RML a try. I highly recommend this book to anyone involved in software, IT and even engineering. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,257,553 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #250 in Computer Operating Systems (Books) #412 in Software Design & Engineering #1,273 in Software Development (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (73) | | Dimensions | 7.38 x 0.88 x 8.95 inches | | Edition | 1st | | ISBN-10 | 0735667721 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0735667723 | | Item Weight | 1.74 pounds | | Language | English | | Part of series | Developer Best Practices | | Print length | 480 pages | | Publication date | July 15, 2012 | | Publisher | Microsoft Press | ## Images ![Visual Models for Software Requirements (Developer Best Practices) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81SrD5dWYyL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Visual Models for Software Requirements helps remove inherent risks with IT projects from the PM's perspective *by P***U on December 16, 2016* This is the most comprehensive and understandable implementation of the complete set of BA tools I have ever seen.

Then I decided I would read it end to end. I chipped away at it a little bit at a time with my morning coffee, the Kindle format is great for this! I found it very informative and gave me the insights I was hoping to find. I imagine that I will breeze through it occasionally and look at my highlights/notes when a project is a bit cloudy for my stakeholder or myself. ## Frequently Bought Together - Visual Models for Software Requirements - Software Requirements Third Edition by Karl Wiegers and Joy Beatty - Paperback - Mastering the Requirements Process: Getting Requirements Right --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/11049482-visual-models-for-software-requirements-developer-best-practices](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/11049482-visual-models-for-software-requirements-developer-best-practices) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
