METHOD FOR IDENTIFYING REQUIREMENTS FOR DESIGNING INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SYSTEMS

摘要

A method for generating specification requirements for an Information Technology development project has been developed. First, a framework is created for decomposing and categorizing organizational information into data elements that include project design requirements. These data elements are then stored in a data repository. A relationship is defined between the data elements and corresponding project information provided by the end-user. These defined relationships are also stored in the data repository. Next, a guided facilitation process is used to elicit objective information from the end-user regarding objectives for new technology. Also, specification information is collected from the end-user based upon the objective information. The requirements for the project are determined from the end-user based upon the specification information. This continues until informational needs pertinent to the various types and categories of requirements have been specified. Then the data elements in the data repository are mapped with the corresponding informational needs. Finally, a standards requirement document for the project is generated using the mapped data elements from the data repository.
