This site is your guide to write excellent business requirements. A requirements approach that we developed with and for Product Managers, Business Analysts and Project Managers. The result of 20+ years of international consultancy.

Business Requirements Tips’ mission is to deliver a state of the art approach to business requirements analysis. An approach suitable for product managers, business analysts, project managers and non technical business audiences. You won’t find the 12 in a dozen articles that you’ll find all over the internet and are written by technical people. What you’ll find is an easy to learn way to write and use requirements that is quite different from the standard requirements literature. The standard requirements literature is written by people with a background in systems engineering or software development. They use an approach that is less suitable for doing business requirements right.

So, our approach is similar where it has to and is quite different where it’s best for doing business requirements. As such, we love fuzzy words for instance while all other books state that you should avoid fuzzy words. We avoid words like “must be able” in a requirements sentence while many other books use this as the basic templates. We don’t separate functional requirements form non-functional requirements but instead use the power of mixing those types of business requirements.

    I met Wim at the BA Brazil conference in Porto Alegre in November 2011, and was impressed by his knowledge, passion and skill in the business analysis field.  After we had shared food and lengthy debates he gave me a copy of his book “Start at the end with SMART requirements”.

    This book is a gem – clear, straightforward advice and a simple path that can be followed to identify and understand and express the real needs on a project, with clear examples and easy to follow instructions.

    Wim has achieved the almost impossible – an easy to read book with deeply profound advice that can be adapted to pretty much any type of project.

    I recommend Wim’s work and his book to anyone who wants to understand the distilled essence of business analysis.
