Creating Requirements - Techniques and Experiences in the Policing Domain
L. Pennel, Neil Maiden, Northampton Square, V Ohb · 2003
Processes and techniques to discover and create requirements rather than elicit and acquire them from stakeholders have received relatively little attention in the requirements engineering literature. In contrast researchers in artificial intelligence and cognitive and social psychology have been researching creativity for some time. More recently we have applied their theories and models to requirements engineering. In this experience paper we report results and lessons learned from 2 creativity workshops undertaken with the UK's Police Information Technologies Organisation, in which theories and models of creativity informed creative thinking about requirements and opportunities for bio-metric technologies in policing. The main results are presented as lessons learned for the wider requirements engineering community.
