The Experience of Using ERi*c in a Telecom Corporation

Intentional Requirements Engineering (ERi*c – Engenharia de Requisitos Intencional) is a method that produces i* models. It is a six steps interactive process that uses the notion of “Strategic Dependency Situations” a modularization strategy applied to situations of an organization. ERi*c uses an elicitation strategy that mines goals from the description of the context vocabulary. This paper reports on its use in the context of Investment Contracts of a Telecom Company. The experience of using ERi*c served as basis for the dissertation of one student at UERJ (State University of Rio de Janeiro). A summary of the method application is provided as well as the final remarks on the effects of the modeling experience. Although not institutionalized in the company, the process used in the modeling experience did enact changes on important decision processes.
