Abstract :
The core problem with requirements engineering is that often even the customers have no clear idea what they need; they don´t know how to express it; or even if they express it really well, what they thought they need wasn´t what they really need. Despite having the technical skills and being able to speak the domain language, generating requirements for software developers by the developers is found to be quite a difficult task. We discuss four types of strategies for expressing one´s desire for requirements. We analyze how stories turn into consensus.
