We present a technique for eliciting requirements based on the use of a service canvas and the results of its application in the early phase of a customer relationship management integration project. The project was a collaboration between a research group and two industry partners. We describe (1) our service canvas, (2) how we designed a set of workshops to elicit the requirements, (3) the support tools used for running the workshops, and (4) the resulting canvas, listing the customer relationship management requirements, that was the basis for the project proposal. We explain how, as participant observers, we conducted the project and how we collected and analyzed the data. We describe what worked well and the lessons we learned. We outline some practical problems that remain unsolved.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
