Customer Oriented Requirement Engineering By Using Scrum Methodology

Abstract

This research aims to find the influence of rigorous requirement engineering activities in helping the developers to change over from the
traditional ‘heavyweight’ methodologies to the Agile methodology. Four software projects were chosen as case studies from different
software houses and research was conducted during their project life cycle. A decision support system assisted the development team to
analyze the requirements gathered in requirement elicitation phase and recommended suitable development methodology for fulfilling them.
Scrum methodology was recommended for all four case studies. In the next stage the progress of these projects were evaluated to determine
the effectiveness of this combination of Scrum and Requirement engineering. A general improvement in the performance of the development
process was reported after applying Scrum methodology under the umbrella of customer oriented requirement engineering.
