Value-based requirements engineering: method and experience

Boundary Objects for Value-based Requirements Engineering

Value-based requirements engineering focuses on the alignment of requirements engineering decisions and business value decisions. There is much evidence on the importance of this alignment and there are several approaches for tackling specific alignment decisions such as e.g. release planning. However, for the general picture of what this alignment is about, a common language between requiremen...

Cost - value requirements prioritization in Requirements Engineering

An Experience-Based Approach for Integrating Architecture and Requirements Engineering

Deriving requirements and architecture in concert implies the joint elicitation and specification of the problem and the structure of the solution. In this paper we argue that such an integrated process should be fundamentally based on experience. We sketch an approach developed in the context of the EMPRESS project that shows how different kinds of experiencebased artifacts, such as checklists...

Requirements Engineering Meets Physiotherapy: An Experience with Motion-Based Games

[Context and motivation] In the last years motion-based games have achieved an increasing success. These games have great potential to support physiotherapeutic programs, as they can guide the patients in performing the right movements for their rehabilitation. [Question/problem] However, on the one hand, existing games performed on commercial systems (e.g., Wii, Kinect) are not suitable for pe...

A prescriptive approach to qualify and quantify customer value for value-based requirements engineering

UK Recently, customer-­‐based product development is becoming a popular paradigm. Customer expectations and needs can be identified and transformed into requirements for product design with the help of various methods and tools. However, in many cases, these models fail to focus on the perceived value that is crucial when customers make the
