| Summary / Zusammenfassung | The specification of requirements in a large-scale market-driven environment is a balancing act as too much detailing and quality improvement to these requirements can lead to overloading the requirements engineering process. This would make it impossible for product managers to cope with the large influx of requirements. However, too badly specified requirements lead to ambiguity and misunderstandings that causes large corrective costs down the development road. The potential impact of low-quality requirements is further compounded in distributed multi-site product development. Distributed product development is increasingly becoming commonplace as it allows companies to leverage their resources and to draw on the advantage of proximity to customers and markets during large-scale software development. These challenges of communicating just good-enough requirements to achieve requirements understanding in distributed large-scale market-driven product development have motivated this research. Investigated are the role and potential impact of goal-oriented systems theory and models drawn from the body of knowledge on negotiation. Practicability, scalability, and usefulness of the developed instruments for requirements communication are addressed and evaluated by tight collaboration with industry. |
