Investigating the Impact of Stakeholders’ Commitment on Requirements Elicitation
Corentin Burnay, Ivan Jureta, Stéphane Faulkner · International Journal of Software Engineering and Knowledge Engineering · 2015
Requirements Elicitation (RE) consists of collecting requirements for a future system. It involves engineers who are eliciting information, and stakeholders who are involved in the project to provide information. This research note aims to stimulate research about the impact of stakeholders’ commitment on RE. We define commitment, discuss how it can be measured during RE, and present a first exploratory study that we conducted to build a prototype “commitment matrix”. The matrix aims to clarify what engineers may expect during RE when involving stakeholders who are more or less committed.
