During the requirements gathering process, a range of elicitation techniques have been used to shed light on both the functional and non-functional requirements needed within my projects. Consequently, a number of specific elicitation techniques have been used to gather a range of tailored information, thus aiding the process of deriving the requirements needed. The first elicitation technique that has been adopted during the requirements gathering process is the use of surveys, this medium has been chosen due to its simplistic and robust nature making the process of distributing and receiving responses relatively inexpensive and time efficient when compared interviews, which require more time and manpower from both parties to produce …show more content…
Alternatively, open-ended where utilised when a greater of detail and insight were needed from the respondent as part of the elicitation. An example of a result from question present within the survey (as shown in Appendix C) that resulted in both a new functional and non-functional requirement being derived was “Have you ever felt dissatisfied with a games inbuilt matchmaking system”, this was a combination of an open and closed ended question with a respondent being able to further specify the reasons for their chosen selection (which included: “Yes”, “No”, “Rarely” and “Never”). The inclusion of this question not only allowed me to elicit requirements, but it also provided the opportunity to solidify the need for my project when considering the solutions already present. The response that resulted in the addition of a functional requirement (referenced in both FR1 and FR2) with a respondent/stakeholder stating they haven “automatically paired with people from different regions” resulting in “server connection issues which in turn causes lag ruining the online gaming experience.” I used this response to identify the need for a functional requirement that allowed members of the system to be able to control the process of matchmaking to avoid the issue of being arbitrarily and “automatically paired” with other users. Furthermore, the response “I have also been forced to wait for extended periods
A set of preliminary usage scenarios that describe the use of the system under different operating conditions.
In this work related project analysis various information will be for gathering information. Some of the areas that will be covered are; methods of searching, interviewing techniques to gather the information, agreement for articulating requirements, and strategies to gather information for computerization. Requirements must
4. What are the limitations of the survey method, and how would you overcome the limitations of this research method, or any research approach?
sis will be performed on responses to open-ended questions on the survey (Bourque & Fiedler, 1995).
An adequate survey must be conducted. An adequate survey requires impartially worded questions, and a high participation percentage.
In addition, I also plan to get the opinions my colleagues regarding the positives and negatives of the program with a survey at the end of my research. I hope to use the results of this survey to look at and determine the skills and resources that are thought to be essential to the success of the programs implementation.
I’m also more aware of the use of open-ended questions which enable the person talking to identify and clarify their experiences and feelings in relation to the problem that they’re dealing with. I’ve noticed how useful they are in giving the speaker freedom and choice about where they want to go with their story. They don’t demand a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ response so the speaker can explore further and doesn’t feel pressurised into offering a definitive answer. Closed questions do have a part to play in a helping interaction – for example when it comes to clarifying certain information – but they don’t help someone to move forward in the exploration of their concerns.
Open-ended questions are questions that cannot be answered with yes or no. They are questions like “tell me about your childhood” why do you think Bernie Sanders would or would not be a good president”? These
Stakeholders will provide information about funding, sponsoring, enhancing the program. The information will be collected to determine the effectiveness of the outcomes. Most of the information will come from surveys, documents, interviews, and census data. Surveys are not as reliable as interviews, but it is faster and cheaper to understand the people
The questions posed during the study would include open-ended as well as closed-ended questions, these can include,” strongly agree, agree somewhat, disagree somewhat, or strongly disagree” (Babbie, 2015 p.276).
Secondly, open-ended question should be adopted as the major type of interview questions because it allows maximum freedom for the client to respond in his or her own way (Balzer, Julia, 2004).
Requirements Gathering Phase: In this phase, as business analyst will write a requirements document based on the results gathered from a competitive analysis , the current projects stakeholder analysis and lessons learnt from previous hotels failure.
The requirements gathering and analysis phase is the most critical phase for the overall success of the project because this phase helps “identify and capture stakeholder requirements using customer interviews and surveys” (Smith, 2016). In order to successfully capture software requirements from the stakeholder, developers need to conduct conference meetings to understand the capabilities of the software. This conference meeting usually takes place only once, so it is essential that developers collect all the information required for the software during the elicitation requirement meeting. For developers to be successful in collecting all the required information, it is a
Another consideration when designing questions is whether to include open-ended, closed-ended, partially open-ended, or rating-scale questions (for a detailed discussion refer to Jackson, 2009). Advantages and disadvantages can be found with each type:
For me, I do not have enough knowledge about this project and there are so many topics that I do not have an enough in depth knowledge.And I am serious about the part of doing a questionnaire survey.
