| Abstract: | One of the challenges in requirements engineering is the ability to improve the process and establish one that is “good-enough”. The objective of this paper is to present a lightweight approach to identify process improvement issues. The approach is developed to capture both the views of different stakeholders and different sources of information. An industrial investigation from a small company is presented. In the investigation both projects and the line organization have been interviewed and documentation from them has been studied to capture key issues for improvement. The issues identified from one source are checked against other sources. The dependencies between the issues have been studied. In total nine issues for improvement of the requirements engineering work at the company were identified. It is concluded that the approach is effective in capturing issues, and that the approach helps different stakeholders to get their view represented in the process improvement work. |
