This book provides a practical view of how to use requirements effectively. It contains several complete examples and practical material, and this way ideally complements Bertrand Meyer s Handbook of Requirements and Business Analysis . It includes implementations of the important ideas from this handbook, concrete and directly usable, such as professional templates, principles and rules implementations, or a detailed list of possible stakeholders. It not only details the principles of the PEGS (Project Environment Goals System) approach, but also offers a lot of illustrations, concrete cases, examples of implementation, practical advice, and materials to adopt the approach efficiently.
It thus addresses several kinds of readers: First, industry professionals looking for practical materials and guidelines to help them apply good practices and principles to handle modern requirements and business analysis. Second, students eager to exercise and learn modern practices of requirements engineering and business analysis. And third, lecturers looking for complete case studies to discuss with their students, as well as exercise solutions, examples and discussions around modern requirements and business analysis.
Almost all the practical materials described in this book are available on a related companion website.
List of contents

Jean-Michel Bruel is Full Professor and holds the Airbus Research Chair on Model-Based System Engineering at the Toulouse Jean Jaurès University. His research areas include the development of software-intensive cyber-physical systems, and methods/model/language integration, with a focus on requirements and model-based systems engineering. He has been teaching abstractions and modeling in various universities for almost 25 years.
Sophie Ebersold is Full Professor at the University of Toulouse and head of the SM@RT team of the IRIT CNRS laboratory since September 2021. Her research areas are in software engineering and include the modelling of complex systems and emphasizes methods/model/language integration and requirements engineering. She teaches various software engineering courses for bachelor and early master students.
Mariya Naumcheva is a PhD from the University of Toulouse. Her main research area is requirements engineering, especially applying object-oriented techniques to requirements specification.
