Towards new requirements engineering competencies
Pages 131 - 134
Abstract
Many of the requirements engineering (RE) difficulties have been argued to be due to the evolving nature of design problems in dynamic environments, characterized by high levels of uncertainty, ambiguity and emergence. It has also been argued that these challenges cannot be solved by focusing primarily on notations, tools, and methods. The purpose of this vision paper is to understand better what kinds of new competencies are needed when expanding RE practices to cope with complex systems in dynamic environments. We intend to achieve our goal by discussing: 1) how increased complexity affects RE practices, and 2) what viewpoints have been found most salient when aligning RE practices with the design problem at hand. Based on our findings, we argue for the importance of contextual intelligence, the ability to recognize and diagnose contextual factors and then intentionally and intuitively adjust behavior. We also outline some of the important competencies that need to be developed for future RE practitioners to deal with complex problems.
