“…The result of the interview is a series of attribute/consequence/value chains that represent the interviewees' preferred product features and their reasoning for the preferences (Taylor-Cummings 1998). Sadig and Sahraoui (2017) also (without going into depth) looked at the requirements elicitation process in developing countries and argued that the national culture affects to a high degree the requirements elicitation techniques that are preferred and used.…”

“…As a result, even though contemporary synchronous and asynchronous communication tools may be used, communication needed for successful requirement elicitation is influenced negatively (Siakas et al 2021;Damian and Zowghi 2003). The challenges are intensified compared to developing software in a collocated environment (Aranda et al 2008;Benguria et al 2018;Mighetti and Hadad 2016;Sadig and Sahraoui 2017;Siakas et al 2016). Coordination and collaboration become particularly difficult in the context of GSE due to the need to coordinate many different stakeholders in a distributed multi-cultural setting.…”

Nowadays, multiculturality is the norm. No country or organization is monocultural. Little previous work has been carried out specifically on how culture influences multicultural requirements elicitation. In this paper we look at the importance of culture with the aim of increasing understanding of the role of cultural differences in differences in multicultural requirements elicitation. This paper starts with a literature review demonstrating the importance of raising awareness and understanding of cultural diversity which often causes conflict and mistrust which can lead to failure of any project. The ultimate aim is the improvement of the whole systems development process as well as the resulting products and services. We present the development and validation of the Multicultural Requirements Elicitation [McRE) framework which helps prevent or at least minimize prejudice, conflicts, misunderstandings and misinterpretations arising from cultural differences. McRE is an instrument for carrying out processes, defining the purpose of these processes and the methods that must be used, as well practical suggestions for raising awareness of cultural diversity and reflecting on unconscious bias. Additionally, McRE suggests relevant training and learning. Finally, it advocates prevention and mitigation actions. The rationale and results from the validation of the framework by experts from industry and academia are presented. The validation provided strong indications that the McRE framework is both necessary and suitable for multicultural requirements elicitation in the software development process but also in other domains.

<span lang="EN-US">In the context of software development, requirement engineering is one of the crucial phases that leads to software project success or failure. According to several disruptive changes in the software engineering landscape as well as the world’s challenge of virus pandemic, the provision of practical and innovative software applications is required. Therefore, issues resolution in requirement elicitation is potentially one of the key success factors resulting in enhanced quality of system requirement. The authors have striven to create new ways of requirement elicitation according to factor effects of communication, culture, competency, and stakeholder, by incorporating tools, processes, methods, and techniques to solve the problems comprehensively, and then proposed an adaptive and applicable conceptual framework. To illustrate these effects, the authors performed a literature review from the past 8 years, and then data analysis from interviews of 27 practitioners, observations and focus groups of software development in real-life projects.</span>

Agile Software Development has advanced in the latest years, but research evidence indicates limitations related to its usage along with Requirements Engineering. One of the reasons for failures in agile projects is the nonconformity to the needs of business processes in companies. This study conducted a cross-case analysis in seven companies to investigate Requirements Engineering in agile projects. Documentation, observation, and interviews were triangulated, analyzed and synthesized by applying techniques of thematic analysis. The aim was identifying factors that affect the requirements adherence to business. The customer business knowledge by the team and the customer availability during elicitation and validation of software requirements are essential to the requirements adherence to business in agile projects. That way, the developed systems (both Information Systems and Intelligent Systems) can better meet the needs of the organization's business processes.
