Goal Elicitation Heuristics Anchored on a Thinking Frame

Abstract

Eliciting goals, a non-trivial task, is a challenge to Goal Modeling. Central to our concept of goal is the understanding that a goal is about the future. It is a point, in the timeline, at which actors are motivated to reach. This paper uses qualitative argumentation to justify how a thinking frame helps goal elicitation towards modeling. We present the roadblocks of goal elicitation, the usual strategies for goal elicitation, the IRES Thinking Frame, and an example of goal elicitation heuristics.
