Abstract

The scope of requirements engineering must include high-level business objectives and strategies to achieve traceability between IT and business needs in order to ensure alignment. However, we must also deal with the evolution of business strategy. Enterprise IT evolution is a complex task. This paper presents the first steps in a research project that integrates two requirements engineering methodologies, B-SCP and MAP, in order to manage evolution of strategic IT. The approach is tested on a case study of Seven Eleven Japan. We found that there are semantic similarities between B-SCP and MAP, which facilitated their combination. MAP also has a Gap Analysis process inbuilt so this saves on the overhead of inventing a new approach. In addition, MAP extends B-SCP's capability by the addition of non-deterministic process modelling.
