Stakeholder Value Proposition Elicitation and Reconciliation

  • Chapter
Value-Based Software Engineering

Abstract:

This chapter motivates the need of methods and tools for understanding and reconciling stakeholder value propositions in software engineering. We present EasyWinWin, an example of a groupware-supported negotiation method that provides process structure and mediation to stakeholders. We identify challenges of stakeholder value proposition elicitation and negotiation and discuss possible extensions to EasyWinWin that address these challenges.
