A Requirement Gathering Framework for Electronic Document Management Systems

Abstract

The practice of requirement engineering has been used for several years in software development. The process of requirements engineering can be broken down into four stages namely elicitation, analysis and negotiation, specification, and validation. Because requirements engineering varies from organization to organization, it may be difficult for project managers to adopt the correct usage of the various stages of a project. Moving towards digital transformation, many organizations are moving towards electronic document management system (EDMS). EDMS has become a substantial tool in many organizations, when it comes to integrated data gathering and sharing. Nevertheless, requirement engineering for implementing EDMS projects should be carefully done to avoid project failure or poor-quality software. This paper thus presents a framework for requirement gathering for EDMS to promote successful implementation using a hybrid approach. The framework has been evaluated in a well-known company in Mauritius and results have been presented in the paper.
