A Dynamic Approach for Managing Stakeholder Credentials for Lightweight, Collaborative, Requirements Elicitation
Kurtis D. Todd, Jane Cleland‐Huang · 2008
As software projects increase in size and complexity, and involve stakeholders across geographic and organizational boundaries, it becomes increasingly important to develop new approaches and tools for supporting distributed, collaborative and scalable requirements elicitation processes. Such processes and related tools must support relatively open and inclusive collaborations, while simultaneously constraining stakeholders' contributions according to their areas and levels of expertise. This position paper proposes a new approach that uses information retrieval methods and group dynamics to manage stakeholder credentials and provide access permissions in a dynamically evolving, open-access, requirements elicitation process.
