Guidelines for the selection of elicitation techniques

Requirement Elicitation is a crucial part of Requirement Engineering. Using an appropriate method can help in producing a consistent and complete set of requirements with reduced cost and time. This paper introduces ways and guidelines for selecting requirement elicitation techniques. Different elicitation techniques are analyzed in the light of different project settings. Guidelines for selecting an appropriate mix of elicitation techniques are presented to overcome individual shortcomings of the techniques and maximize the aggregate advantage.
