Scenarios in the Wild: Experiences with a Contextual Requirements Discovery Method (bibtex)
by Norbert Seyff, Florian Graf, Neil A. M. Maiden and Paul Grünbacher
Abstract:
[Context and motivation] A number of ethnographic approaches are available to gather requirements where they emerge, i.e. in the workplace of future system users. [Question/problem] Most of these approaches do not provide guidance and software tool support for on-site analysts. [Principal ideas/results] In this paper we present a tool-supported contextual method that combines key benefits of contextual inquiry and scenario-based techniques. It aims to improve guidance and support for on-site analysts performing a contextual requirements discovery. [Contribution] We applied this method in the Austrian Alps to discover stakeholder requirements for a ski tour navigation system. This paper reports on this inquiry and analyses its results. Moreover, we discuss lessons learned and conclusions.
