Specifying value in GRL for guiding BPMN activities prioritization

Abstract:

In a value-based requirements engineering approach, the stakeholders’ value propositions must be considered ahead to drive the software development activities. Early requirements approaches like the Goal-Oriented Requirements Language (GRL) focus on modeling goals to satisfy the stakeholders’ needs, but do not provide a proper mechanisms to specify value according to stakeholders’ value propositions. Moreover, in software development, after specifying value propositions, there is a need to align goal elements with business process elements in order to prioritize which business process activity will be developed next. Thus, we propose a new approach (value@GRL) to improve GRL with the stakeholders’ value propositions and, consequently, the prioritization of Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) activities, according to the mapping between GRL and BMPN elements. Value@GRL provides guidelines for value specification in GRL models in regards of the stakeholders’ needs and the prioritization mechanisms to define the order of BPMN activities in the context of an incremental software development.
