SPaMCAST 49 - Goldsmith, Requirements – Part 2, A Game Plan For 2009

Show Forty Nine concludes a two part interview with Robin Goldsmith on requirements.    If you have not already done so, please go back to show 47 to listen to the first half of the interview.  Requirements are one of those foundational components that can make or break a project as it gets started.  I believe that Robin's ideas and insights are thought provoking and that you will find them useful.  Robin is the president of Go Pro Management.  Go Pro Management, Inc. is a consultancy that works directly with and trains professionals in business engineering, requirements analysis, software acquisition, project management, quality and testing.  Mr Goldsmith was previously a developer, systems programmer/DBA/QA, and project leader with the City of Cleveland, leading financial institutions, and a "Big 4” consulting firm.  He holds degrees from Kenyon College, A.B.; Pennsylvania State University, M.S. in Psychology; Suffolk University, J.D.; Boston University, LL.M. in Tax Law. Robin is the author of the Artech House book, Discovering REAL Business Requirements for Software Project Success, and numerous articles in prominent periodicals, and frequent featured speaker at leading professional conferences.Contact information: Web Site: http://www.gopromanagement.comEmail:  RobinGoldsmith@cs.comPhone: (781) 444-5753Check out SPaMCAST"s Facebook page and get involved!!!! http://tinyurl.com/62z5elThe essay is titled “A Game Plan For 2009”.  The essay looks to 2009 or any moment where a line can be drawn as time to celebrate change and decide to enrich the world around you (as well re-invigorating your own brand).There are a number of ways to share your thoughts with SPaMCAST: •    Email SPaMCAST at spamcastinfo@gmail.com•    Voice messages can be left at 1-206-888-6111•    Twitter - www.twitter.com/tcagley•    BLOG – www.tcagley.wordpress.com•    FACEBOOK!!!!
