Описание: This is the biography of Canadian electrical experimenter John Hutchison written by a scientist and electrical engineer who worked closely with Hutchison and who personally witnessed some of the strange phenomena associated with John and his apparatus. Based on correspondence with the authors and others, this volume chronicles Johns early experimentation with the Hutchison Effect and shows why conventional physics explanations of the phenomena are inadequate. Electrical circuit diagrams and colour plates never before seen detail the apparatus John used to make objects fly about in his laboratory, fracture in unusual ways, and create other startling effects.
Описание: What is "requirements elicitation" and why should you care? Why should anyone read a book about requirements gathering? All you have to do to get the requirements for anything is ask everyone involved what they want it to do, right? If you are capable of understanding their answers, you should be done in a heartbeat. So, why the fuss? Based on the track record of the Information Technology (IT) profession, it appears that gathering the right requirements from the right people to define the right IT solution for any organization is nearly impossible. Industry insiders cannot even agree on what to call the process. Over the years, we have tried "Requirements Gathering," "Requirements Capture," "Requirements Definition," "Requirements Discovery," and "Requirements Elicitation." Regardless what we call it, this book will give you a head start on getting the job done right. "Requirements Elicitation Interviews and Workshops - Simply Put " deals with the "soft skills" side of life, meaning attitudes and behaviors that promote effective requirements elicitation. In particular, you can learn how to: Define and distinguish five specific requirements elicitation approaches from one-on-one Requirements Interviews to Requirements Gathering Workshops - Evaluate the pros and cons of each approach for your organization and project - Define the seven habits to successful requirements discovery - Plan and prepare Requirements Interviews - Prepare, perform, and manage effective requirements gathering Workshops - Recognize the challenges and strengths of facilitated requirements workshops with cross-functional groups - Use informational and active listening to capture hidden requirements About the authors Angela and Tom Hathaway have trained, consulted, mentored and coached thousands of business analysts around the world for organizations from small businesses to Fortune 100. Based on their combined 60+ years of experience in Information Technology and Business Analysis, they serve up a unique perspective on this burgeoning field of knowledge.
Defining solution-level requirements (aka functional and non-functional requirements) is a core competency for anyone in an organization responsible for defining future Information Technology (IT) applications. "Functional and Non-Functional Requirements - Simply Put " will give
Business Analysts,
Systems Analysts,
Agile Product Owners,
Product Managers,
Subject Matter Experts (a.k.a. SMEs),
and really "anyone wearing the BA hat"
simple, repeatable techniques for extracting solution-level specifications from business and stakeholder requirements that are expressed in complete sentence form.
My co-author, Angela, and I have used these techniques on hundreds of IT projects around the globe and we know the value each provides. Using these approaches will improve your ability to identify and document requirements at the level of detail that solution providers (vendors or developers) need to deliver the right technology for their organization.
The presented techniques will work on any set of well-expressed requirement statements. However, they were specifically designed for and work best with requirement statements that follow the "Rules for Writing Effective Requirements" that we present in our course and book "Writing Effective Requirements for IT - Simply Put ." Regardless of your job title or role, if you are involved in defining future business solutions, this book will help you communicate your business needs to solution providers. It will reduce the potential for misunderstandings that undermine IT's ability to deliver the right technology for the business.
Upon successful completion of this course, you can:
Decompose Business and Stakeholder Requirement Statements to identify Functional and Non-Functional Requirements
Give those responsible for designing, building, and/or buying the solution the kind of information they need to make the decisions that are right for the business
Identify Informational, Performance, and Constraining Requirements from a list of Functional Requirements
Document and manage Business, Stakeholder, Functional and Non-Functional Requirements
Capture and clarify Business Rules and External Constraints that mandate limits to the delivered solution
Develop measurable Solution Requirements that facilitate End-User Acceptance Testing
The course includes optional, online exercises with immediate feedback featuring our recommended resolution and the rationale behind it. At the end of the course, a "Final Exam' will allow you to test your understanding of how all of the presented ideas work together to make your requirements more easily understood by all respective target audiences.

Описание:
Our ignorance of the truth can wreak terrible havoc in people's lives and in communities. Without a solid biblical understanding of disability, how can church leaders combat harmful attitudes and beliefs both within the church and the community to which they minister? Without a basic understanding of common disabilities, how can churches equip those with a disability and encourage greater inclusion in church and community life? This comprehensive guide to disability and the church will give theology students, pastors and church leaders the introduction they need to effectively minister in their churches and communities. Focused on the African context, but with lessons and information that are useful in many regions, this book is a valuable resource to help churches and practitioners grow in maturity and effectiveness.
