Good for software development. Not as much for database management.

It a has good amount of details on non-functional requirements: Availability, capacity, latency, etc. Plenty of suggested questions to use in your quest to elicit requirements from non-technical clients.

There is a major omision. Business requirements are not addressed on this book. That is probably due to the background of the author (software only?).
