"What Artists Want": Elicitation of Artist Requirements to Feed the Design on a New Collaboration Platform for Creative Work
This work addresses the needs of visual artists for collaboration tools, but it is incremental as it focuses on requirement elicitation without implementing or testing a new solution.
The study tackled the problem of designing a decentralized platform for self-organized creative work by eliciting requirements from visual artists through qualitative methods, resulting in a set of important requirements for the future platform.
Aiming at designing a decentralized platform to support grassroot initiatives for self-organized creative work, the present work solicited feedback from a group of visual artists regarding their work processes and concerns. The paper presents the qualitative methodology followed for collecting requirements from the target audience of the envisioned software solution. The data gathered from the focus group is analyzed and we conclude with a set of important requirements that the future platform needs to fulfill.
