Study Notes
Software Requirements Engineering
- Software requirements engineering (SRE) involves users and stakeholders playing a crucial role in defining and ensuring requirements meet their needs.
Users vs. Stakeholders
-
Users: Individuals interacting directly or indirectly with a system.
- Defined by ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288:2023 as an individual or group interacting with a system or benefiting from a system during its utilization.
- Primarily focused on system functionality.
- Types: Primary, secondary, and end-users.
-
Stakeholders: Individuals, groups, or organizations with vested interest in a project's outcome.
- Defined by ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288:2023 as having a right, share, claim, or interest in a system or in characteristics that meet their needs and expectations.
- Influence project outcomes and requirements.
- Focus on both functionality and business requirements.
- Types: Primary, secondary, and tertiary.
- Users are stakeholders, but not all stakeholders are users.
Stakeholder Identification and Analysis
- Identify Key Stakeholders: Use brainstorming sessions, interviews, and organizational charts.
- Analyze Influence and Interest: Prioritize stakeholders based on their power, interest, and impact.
-
Tools:
- Stakeholder Matrix: Visualizes power vs. interest and involvement to prioritize stakeholders.
- Stakeholder Maps: Illustrate relationships and dependencies among stakeholders.
Conclusion
- Both users and stakeholders are essential for comprehensive requirement elicitation.
- Understanding stakeholder roles is crucial for effective requirement elicitation.
- Active engagement and clear communication help reduce misunderstandings and achieve project goals.
