Crowdsourcing to elicit requirements for MyERP application

Crowdsourcing is an emerging method to collect requirements for software systems. Applications seeking global acceptance need to meet the expectations of a wide range of users. Collecting requirements and arriving at consensus with a wide range of users is difficult using traditional method of requirements elicitation. This paper presents crowdsourcing based approach for German medium-size software company MyERP that might help the company to get access to requirements from non-German customers. We present the tasks involved in the proposed solution that would help the company meet the goal of eliciting requirements at a fast pace with non-German customers.
