Situational Requirement Method System: Knowledge Management in Business Support

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing ((AISC,volume 185))

Abstract

Software developers have been successfully tailoring software development methods according the project situation and more so in small scale software development organizations. There is a need to propagate this knowledge to other developers who may be facing the same project situation so that they can benefit from other people experiences. In this paper, use of situational method engineering in requirement elicitation phase is explored. A new, user friendly and progressive web-based tool, Situational Requirement Method System (SRMS), for requirement elicitation phase is developed that can assist in creation, storage and extraction of methods related with this phase. These methods are categorized according to some criteria. This categorization also helps in searching a method which will be most appropriate in a given situation. This approach and tool can also be used for other software development activities.
