Transparency in actions on requirements
X.R. Verheij · Research Repository (Delft University of Technology) · 2012
The combination between agile software engineering and distributed engineering is gaining a growing interest. Combining these however creates an interesting paradox. Where agile clearly states that documentation is not the most important thing, from the field of globally distributed engineering a higher focus on documentation is observed. In this thesis the field of requirements engineering is also taken into the mix. Combining these three a user-story model is defined to take advantage of the, on first sight, downside of working distributed. The fact that face-to-face communication is not possible means that all the communication has to be done using technological support and thus that this communication can be saved. This premise gives an interesting opportunity to keep track of the actions that are taken on user-stories as a result of a conversation. By saving the conversation and coupling the action to parts of that conversation.
