+00:00:00,140 --> 00:00:02,930

+To cover the intrinsic problem of eliciting requirements,

+

+2

+00:00:02,930 --> 00:00:05,670

+many different techniques have been proposed. So here

+

+3

+00:00:05,670 --> 00:00:08,260

+I list some of most traditional techniques for

+

+4

+00:00:08,260 --> 00:00:11,290

+requirement elicitation and as I present those, please keep

+

+5

+00:00:11,290 --> 00:00:13,140

+in mind that these techniques can be used

+

+6

+00:00:13,140 --> 00:00:17,230

+separately or combined. A first technique is called background

+

+7

+00:00:17,230 --> 00:00:20,740

+reading. And, this technique involves collecting information by

+

+8

+00:00:20,740 --> 00:00:24,840

+reading existing documents such as company reports, organizational charts,

+

+9

+00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:29,280

+policy manuals, job descriptions, documentation of existing systems and so

+

+10

+00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:32,400

+on. And, this technique is especially appropriate when one Is

+

+11

+00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:35,370

+not familiar with your organization for which the requirements are

+

+12

+00:00:35,370 --> 00:00:38,950

+being collected. So you want to get some background before interviewing

+

+13

+00:00:38,950 --> 00:00:41,240

+actual people. And one of the main imitations of these

+

+14

+00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:43,930

+kinds of approaches is that written documents might be out

+

+15

+00:00:43,930 --> 00:00:46,320

+of sync and they often are out of sync with

+

+16

+00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,970

+reality. Tend to be long winded. It may contain many irrelevant

+

+17

+00:00:49,970 --> 00:00:51,850

+details, so you may have to look at a lot

+

+18

+00:00:51,850 --> 00:00:54,810

+of materials to extract enough information. The hard data and

+

+19

+00:00:54,810 --> 00:00:58,650

+samples techniques consist in deciding which hard data we want

+

+20

+00:00:58,650 --> 00:01:01,680

+to collect and choosing the sample of the population for which

+

+21

+00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,750

+to collect such data and hard data includes facts and

+

+22

+00:01:04,750 --> 00:01:09,790

+figures such as forms, invoices, financial information, survey results, marketing

+

+23

+00:01:09,790 --> 00:01:12,300

+data, and so on. And the sampling of this data

+

+24

+00:01:12,300 --> 00:01:15,170

+can be done in different ways. For example, the typical ways

+

+25

+00:01:15,170 --> 00:01:19,200

+to do random selection. Interviews are another typical approach for

+

+26

+00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,870

+requirement solicitation, and this is the approach that we use for

+

+27

+00:01:21,870 --> 00:01:24,910

+the first project in this course, for instance. Interviews can be

+

+28

+00:01:24,910 --> 00:01:27,720

+structured in which case there is an agenda of fairly open

+

+29

+00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,450

+questions or they can be open ended in which case there

+

+30

+00:01:30,450 --> 00:01:32,770

+is no preset agenda and the interview is more of a

+

+31

+00:01:32,770 --> 00:01:36,500

+conversation. On the positive side, interviews can collect a rich set

+

+32

+00:01:36,500 --> 00:01:40,260

+of information because they allow for uncovering opinions as well as

+

+33

+00:01:40,260 --> 00:01:43,230

+hard facts. Moreover, they can probe in depth through follow

+

+34

+00:01:43,230 --> 00:01:46,790

+up questions. On the more negative side, interviewing requires special

+

+35

+00:01:46,790 --> 00:01:50,400

+skills that are difficult to master and require experience. And

+

+36

+00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,890

+it is not enough to collect a lot of information. If

+

+37

+00:01:52,890 --> 00:01:55,520

+this information is hard to analyze or even irrelevant, it

+

+38

+00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,250

+might become useless. So you need to know how to conduct

+

+39

+00:01:58,250 --> 00:02:01,180

+an interview in order to take advantage of these techniques.

+

+40

+00:02:01,180 --> 00:02:05,440

+Surveys can also be extremely useful for gathering new requirements because

+

+41

+00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,550

+they can quickly collect information from a large number

+

+42

+00:02:08,550 --> 00:02:11,520

+of people. Moreover, they can be administered remotely. For

+

+43

+00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:13,610

+example, by email, through the web. On the other

+

+44

+00:02:13,610 --> 00:02:16,750

+hand, surveys tend to severely constrain the information that

+

+45

+00:02:16,750 --> 00:02:19,430

+the user can provide and might miss opportunities to

+

+46

+00:02:19,430 --> 00:02:24,460

+collect unforeseen, relevant information. Finally, meetings are generally used

+

+47

+00:02:24,460 --> 00:02:27,690

+for summarization of findings and collection of feedback, so as

+

+48

+00:02:27,690 --> 00:02:30,500

+to confirm or refute what has been learned. So the

+

+49

+00:02:30,500 --> 00:02:32,660

+only additional thing I want to mention about meetings

+

+50

+00:02:32,660 --> 00:02:34,920

+is the fact that it is fundamental that have clearly

+

+51

+00:02:34,920 --> 00:02:37,970

+stated objectives and are planned carefully. This is something that

+

+52

+00:02:37,970 --> 00:02:40,730

+should be quite obvious, but doesn't always happen in practice.
