Software Requirements Talk Podcast LogoSoftware Requirements Talk

Software Requirements Talk is the podcast version of IEEE Software magazine's Requirements department, helmed by Neil Maiden. Each issue, Neil will read what appeared in print for your listening pleasure.

About Neil Maiden

Neil Maiden is professor of Software Engineering and head of the Centre for HCI Design at City University in London. He has published more than 100 refereed papers on requirements engineering, and was program chair of the 2004 IEEE International Conference on Requirements Engineering. His current interests include scenario-driven and mobile requirements techniques, and scaling and evaluating the results of requirements research to industrial practice.

As editor of the Requirements column, Neil aims to make requirements and their importance more widely understood by developers, business people, and management. Understanding comes from knowing what requirements means to you and why you should care about it. Neil and his guest columnists will write about their different perspectives on requirements, and explore new areas of software engineering where requirements matter. The focus is on practical and accessible ideas.

We can also look to the creativity literature and take techniques such as constraint removal, storytelling, and other worlds.
