“…The underlying idea is that during the requirement elicitation phase, the purpose is to describe the full context of a need or a problem to be solved, such as its application domain, business context, stakeholders' expectations and constraints [21]. In change-driven ISD, the backlog in Scrum (and lean portfolio management with epics and programs in SAFe) are used for the same purpose [25].…”

Information systems development (ISD) often fails. Requirements engineering (RE) problems rank high in ISD project failure statistics. RE is often regarded as the link between business (processes) (BP) and IS. Thus, in RE, the BP and IS requirements need to be synchronized. We conducted three case studies to investigate RE problems and the reasons for them, especially to contemplate how to synchronize business process and IS development requirements in plandriven (waterfall) and change-driven (agile) projects. Investigated cases indicate that the ontological and epistemological matching of IS and BP requirements engineering methods improves requirements quality.

“…In a project, requirements are elicited at the beginning of the project. All methods do so whether waterfall or agile [25]. Waterfall methods conduct RE at the beginning of a project, and re-plan the project, should requirements change.…”

“…Up to now, although a broad literature on the topic are being raised in the last years [ 3 ], there are no scientific studies proposing specific practices for these companies. Academic authors focused on describing the context including currently used practices (e.g., [ 8 , 11 , 12 ]) and faced challenges (e.g., [ 11 , 14 ]).…”

In this position paper, our goal is to argue the need for specific software development practices to early-stage startups. In order to reach this goal, we discuss the consequences of innovative and market-driven contexts, which are two of the key elements when describing software startups. We also argue that these practices could be applied to innovative initiatives within established companies since they share similar characteristics and challenges as those from startups.

“…In this case, the defining process is considered as a key to determining specific solutions to stakeholders' problems. According Nuseibeh and Easterbrook as cited by Melegati, define requierement or information system needs as the process of discovering the purpose that a piece of software intended by identifying the stake holders and their needs, documenting the discoveries for future analysis, communication and implementation [14][15].…”

Undergraduate thesis is a scientific paper that students must complete to get a bachelor’s degree. During the completion of the thesis, many students face difficulties in determining research topics, supervision, and administration processes so that they cannot graduate on time. This study aims to analyze the functional needs of the undergraduate thesis information system management that is needed by both students and administrators. This system serves to accelerate the thesis preparation process that is useful for students, supervisors, and thesis administration managers. The procedure of the study was conducted by compiling matrix planning and data collection. As the data source, this study involved 20 students who were writing their undergraduate thesis and 10 alumni who have completed their theses. This sample was selected with the criteria of students or alumni who have been involved in the undergarduate thesis business process. In the process of taking samples reseachers used a purposive sampling method. In addition, difficulties in managing the thesis were also explored by supervisors and study program management. Furthermore, the data were analyzed through PIECES (Performance, Information, Economy, Control, Efficiency, Service). This study produces a list of functional needs on the thesis management system that can encourage students to graduate on time, in which universities can implement this system and socialize it to users.
