Design management books
This is one of a series of reading lists I put together between 2002 and 2004 when I was starting out in interaction and experience design. This one is the shortest on the shelf and the most practical, the books on managing design projects, gathering requirements and running workflows.
The Robertsons’ Mastering the Requirements Process is the standard reference on requirements gathering. Karl Wiegers’s Software Requirements is the software-engineering equivalent. Goto & Cotler’s Web Redesign is of its moment but it was the manual every web-design studio had on a shelf in 2003.
The Amazon links below are what I had at the time, most will be dead now, but the ISBNs will find you a copy.
