Research shows that many of the challenges currently encountered with agile development are related to requirements engineering. Based on design science research, this paper investigates critical challenges that arise in agile development from an undefined requirements strategy. We explore potential ways to address these challengesand synthesize the key building blocks of requirements strategies. Our design science research rests on a multiple case study with three industrial cases in the domains of communication technology, security services, and automotive. We relied on a total of 20 interviews, two workshops, participant observation in two cases, and document analysis in each of the cases to understand concrete challenges and workflows. In each case, we define a requirements strategy in collaboration with process managersand experienced engineers. From this experience, we extract guidelines for defining requirements strategies in agile development.  \nKeywords: requirements strategy, design science research, requirements engineering, large-scale agile development  \n1 Introduction  \nAgile development methodologies aim to shorten the time to market and incorporate maximum changes during the sprint to meet customer needs [21] and have been adapted at small-scale as well as large-scale organizations [18] . With its’ focus on interactions and working software over rigid processes and extensive documentation, traditional well established Requirements Engineering (RE) processes have been neglected. Research shows that many of the challenges currently encountered with agile development are related to requirements engineering [14] for example, misunderstanding customer needs, missing high-level requirements, and difficulty to achieve having just enough documentation.  \nIn this study, we identify specific RE-related challenges and related solution strategies in agile development. Based on this knowledge, we derive necessary building blocks as different viewpoints that should be considered when thinking strategically about RE in agile development. In this, we are inspired by test  \n2 Muhammad et al.  \nstrategies, which guide testing activities to achieve the quality assurance objectives [8] and which mandate that each project must have its test plan document that clearly states the scope, approach, resources, and schedule for testing activities [20] . We argue that defining a so called requirements strategy similar toa test strategy for RE can be critical for successful agile development.  \nIn this paper, we aim to establish the concept of requirements strategy for agile developm","cbCaipjzIycuKmCN","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipjzIycuKmCN","pdf",509007,"English","# Abstract\n# Keywords\n# 1 Introduction\n# 2 Related Work\n# 3 Method\n# 4 Findings\n# 5 Artifact-guidelines\n# 6 Discussion and Conclusion","[{\"question\":\"What is the main problem the paper addresses in agile development?\",\"answer\":\"Many agile challenges stem from requirements engineering issues caused by an undefined requirements strategy.\"},{\"question\":\"How did the authors conduct the study?\",\"answer\":\"They used design science research with three industrial cases, based on 20 interviews, two workshops, participant observation, and document analysis.\"},{\"question\":\"What contribution does the paper provide?\",\"answer\":\"It offers guidelines for defining requirements strategies in agile development through complementary perspectives that support shared language, responsibilities, and mapping to agile workflows.\"}]","Defining Requirements Strategies in Agile - A Design Science Research Study | PDF",1789213595,6]
