This website provides complementary materials for the book Applying Requirements and Business Analysis by Jean-Michel Bruel, Sophie Ebersold, and Mariya Naumcheva which is about to be published at Springer and which is a companion of the book Handbook of Requirements and Business Analysis, by Bertrand Meyer.

Its content will continuously evolve until (and after) the publication of the companion book itself.

The companion constitutes the ideal teaching appendix for teachers, students and practitioners.
