you having difficulties to see the whole picture while browsing through

 |
|
Objectiver is a modeling methodology that aims to eliminate these problems by providing a structured process and a tool to support your work in eliciting and organizing your projects requirements : |
The method proceeds by discovering the stakeholders goals and by
using these goals to unveil and motivate system requirements. Both
bottom-up and top-down approaches are typically used to identify the
stakeholders goals. Goals are hence refined from more general strategic
goals to lower-level operational goals. All system requirements are
identified and introduced in the model in order to meet some
operational goal.
|
Thanks to the goal-oriented
approach, requirements are grouped and
organized according to the operational goals to be met, which in turn
are organized according to more strategic goals pursued by the company.
This organization facilitates your navigation through the requirements
base. You now have a means to see
the forests for the trees...
