Abstract: A method for generating design requirements for has been developed. First, a framework is created for decomposing and categorizing organizational information into data elements that are stored in a data repository. A relationship is defined between the data elements and corresponding project information that is stored in the data repository. Next, a guided facilitation process is used to elicit objective information from the end-user regarding objectives for new technology. The requirements for the project are determined from the end-user based upon the specification information. This continues until informational needs have been specified and mapped with the corresponding data elements. Finally, a standards requirement document is generated and periodically updated using the mapped data elements from the data repository.

Abstract: A method for generating specification requirements for an Information Technology development project has been developed. First, a framework is created for decomposing and categorizing organizational information into data elements that include project design requirements. These data elements are then stored in a data repository. A relationship is defined between the data elements and corresponding project information provided by the end-user. These defined relationships are also stored in the data repository. Next, a guided facilitation process is used to elicit objective information from the end-user regarding objectives for new technology. Also, specification information is collected from the end-user based upon the objective information. The requirements for the project are determined from the end-user based upon the specification information. This continues until informational needs pertinent to the various types and categories of requirements have been specified.
