Abstract

The high number of unsuccessful IT projects, due to the inconsistent and ambiguous requirements specifications, justifies the proposal of new socio-technical approaches to overcome these software quality issues. To address these problems it is required a platform that simultaneously enforces Requirements Engineering best practices, fosters stakeholders' participation, and supports requirements negotiation and management. In this paper, we present the rationale and design of an enhanced Wiki for dealing with Requirements Engineering aspects, according to a CSCW approach. Moreover, we discuss the benefits of this Wiki-based solution in the broader context of ProjectIT initiative, and how it can leverage the quality and rigor of requirements specifications through its integration with CASE tools.
