Abstract

Software empowers micro-businesses to be more competitive - be it accounting software, point-of-sales software, e-commerce software, and the like. Before having such software, micro-businesses must express their requirements properly to the software developers first. Since micro-businesses have restrictions with their budget, manpower, and technical exposure to software, some trade-offs must be addressed. In such case, a practical requirements approach must be used. This approach must be inexpensive, non-technical, and must not involve too much manpower. This paper will show how a software development company, Pentathlon Systems Resources Incorporated, has applied an agile requirements elicitation approach to a micro-business, an amusement arcade. This paper will demonstrate how several models and techniques such as goals, business process models, patterns, and non-functional requirements, have helped in defining the software requirements of the micro-business.
