Synchronization of CaliberRM Requirements with TFS 2010
Has any found an easy way to synchronize requirements stored in CaliberRM with requirement work items in TFS 2010? In the past, Borland produced an add-in to CaliberRM to do so.

Changing project requirements - should client pay
Not sure where to put this but a site filled with working programmers is a good bet. I built a website for a client, that included (on the home page) a fancy jQuery image slider with controls.

What are some good specification/requirements document items for a small iPhone app project?
I'm whipping up a short specifications/requirements document for a small prototype iPhone app project. Describing the basic functionality and behavior is not an issue for me.

In Scrum or other Agile processes - how do you handle requirement versions
In Scrum and/or other Agile methods how do you handle versions of requirements simply? I assume that there are plenty of organisations who are Agile but also need to keep a track of requirement changes for regulatory purposes and so on.

Good interview questions for designers/requirement-writers
I'm trying to come up with a quick question or exercise to evaluate interviewees' design and communication skills for a requirements-writing position. I've considered asking for a quick recipe (like for a grilled cheese sandwich), but that doesn't quite feel right. (recipes describe how to make something; requirements describe the resul...
You're a one man development team, someone asks you what resources you need. What do you ask for?
Being a young, inexperienced developer doing one man development work for a client, I thought I'd just need my laptop and a development environment when asked if I needed anything.

Where is the 'Requirements Development Life Cycle'
As with most developers, struggling with poor, vague, incomplete, and not thought out requirements. I know most people feel developers should pull double-duty and help with business analysis, but if you have large number of individual projects, it's hard to be a 'business subject matter expert' for all of them. So, here is my question ...
Architectural principles as "non-functional" user stories
I am about to start a pilot project in our company to introduce agile practices, including the use of user stories. After reading two books by Mike Cohn, Agile Estimating and Planning in particular and User Stories Applied, I now have a clearer idea of how to proceed.
