    What you will not find in this book

    In this book you will not find a bare theory. We will give only those theoretical foundations that are necessary to illustrate practices and methods, assuming that the reader owns the theory. Analysis and other disciplines of software development discussed in the book are quite mature disciplines today, and it will not be difficult for you to find the relevant materials and textbooks. We do not set the goal of “theoretically educating” the reader.

    The book is aimed at an active specialist who has already understood that he must search
    and study the theoretical base independently. We also do not seek to prove that the Analyst Way we are proposing is the only correct one and the methods and techniques we describe are effective, and by no means that different paths lead to the same goal. We want to show you the one that went through
    themselves, in which they are confident and by whom they conducted young professionals who have grown into serious professionals.

    The book can be found in more detail on the publisher's website.
