Abstract

The objective of software development is to develop and modify systems to satisfy customer needs, on schedule and within the budget. The front end activities of software development are most important when customer needs are assessed and software requirements collected. This paper proposes a new group method for the elicitation of software requirements, and the method is validated with empirical case studies. The results of the study show that the method expedites requirements elicitation and is effective. The participants found the method useful, and worth using again, and were willing to recommend it to their colleagues.
