Risikoorientierte Analyse und Handhabung von Anforderungsänderungen

Requirement changes are a major cause for project failure. A systematic approach to manage those changes from the very beginning should be an in-tegral part of each development project. Although this is accepted in both sci-ence and industry, there is no adequate approach to tackle the issue, especially in the context of interdisciplinary systems. In this paper, a secondary analysis is done to identify all information that is necessary to manage those changes efficiently. The demanded information is pictured in a reference model and then mapped with the capabilities of existing approaches. Based on this, research gaps are identified and used to guide future research efforts.
