The need of understanding and supporting requirements engineering decisions in market-driven product development is motivated by the complexity and economical impact of these decisions. While being a key for success, correct and timely decisions are dependent on the availability and the quality of decision material (requirements, business cases, cost- value estimations etc). This paper presents a needs-oriented framework (NORM) for identifying and assuring the creation of appropriate decision material for RE decisions. NORM is based on analysis of the applied RE process and characteristics of separate RE decisions, focusing mainly on pre-project activities. The framework is developed in close cooperation with industry with the intention to ensure that resources are spent on producing just-the-necessary information at the right time and to be able to monitor and control this production effort.
