Abstract

Software developers are seldom able to implement stakeholders´ requirements fully when time and resources are limited. To solve the problem, requirement engineers together with the stakeholders must prioritize requirements. The problem is exacerbated when the stakeholders are not all in the same place and/or can not collaborate at the same time. We have constructed a system called the Distributed Collaboration and Prioritization Tool (DCPT) to support the distributed and collaborative prioritization. We discuss the prioritization model implemented within DCPT and give examples of using the tool. We also discuss DCPT´s integration with USC´s WinWin requirements capture and negotiation system
