A Novel Approach in Calculating Stakeholder priority in Requirements Elicitation
This addresses the challenge of accurately prioritizing requirements for software developers seeking a competitive edge, but it appears incremental as it builds on existing stakeholder management concepts.
The paper tackles the problem of managing stakeholder needs in software development by proposing a systematic classification and a novel method for calculating stakeholder priority based on importance and requirement preferences, involving stakeholders in the elicitation process.
The ultimate goal of any software developer seeking a competitive edge is to meet stakeholders needs and expectations. To achieve this, it is necessary to effectively and accurately manage stakeholders system requirements. The paper proposes a systematic way of classifying stakeholders and then describes a novel method for calculating stakeholder priority taking into consideration the fact that different stakeholders will have different importance level and different requirement preference. Finally the requirement preference calculation is done where stakeholders choose the best requirements based on two factors, value and urgency of the requirement. The proposed method actively involves stakeholders in the requirement elicitation process.
