Case for enriching developer’s toolkit with goal oriented requirement methodologies

Dynamism in business has led to leaner organizations and multi-tasking role expectations. Software project planning and analysis durations are shorter. Developers are expected to play a larger role in planning, analyzing, elaborating and defining requirements. Developerspsila current methodologies and tools provide weak support in this role. They are especially inadequate for relating to, and for reasoning with business needs and objectives. Goal oriented approaches fill this gap. This paper argues for equipping developers with such tools and training and suggests a potential approach.
