Elicitation Planning

Overview

You should now have an understanding of our project goals, domain, scope, and business problem. The next step in the SRS process is to elicit more information from stakeholders and users to help you identify your product requirements. There are many effective options for eliciting information from stakeholders and users to help inform your project requirements list.

In this assignment, you will recommend elicitation techniques that are appropriate for CapraTek and create a questionnaire that you would use to gain requirements information from users of the app.

Preparation

Review the following multimedia as needed:

• CapraTek: Project Introduction.
• CapraTek: Project Stakeholder and User Interviews.

Directions

Complete the following two parts of this assignment.

Part 1: Elicitation Techniques

Evaluate each of the following elicitation techniques with respect to CapraTek. Explain the pros and cons associated with each technique that you think would be effective for this application based on the information available about the project:

• Questionnaires.
• Interviews.
• Brainstorming.
• Field observation.
• Apprenticing.
• Workshops.
• Use cases.
• Reuse from another project.
• Identify from existing documents.

Make sure to do the following:

• Assess the appropriateness of each elicitation technique for use at CapraTek.
• Explain the pros and cons associated with each elicitation technique that you believe is appropriate for use at CapraTek.

Part 2: User Questionnaire

Develop a 10-item questionnaire that you would use to identify functional and nonfunctional requirements of either users or stakeholders—choose only one group. Questions should not be taken from the scenario.

Make sure to do the following:

• Write five questions that are useful for gathering functional requirements.
• Write five questions that are useful for gathering the nonfunctional requirements.
• Create a questionnaire that is professional in design and function.
• Create a questionnaire that includes ranking, multiple choice, and short answer techniques.
