Complementary Approaches
In 2009, Alexander and Beus-Dukic proposed a set of complementary approaches for discovering requirements:
- Identifying stakeholders
- Modeling goals
- Modeling context
- Discovering scenarios (or Use cases)
- Discovering "qualities and constraints" (Non-functional requirements)
- Modeling rationale and assumptions
- Writing definitions of terms
- Analyzing measurements (acceptance criteria)
- Analyzing priorities
Alexander and Beus-Dukic suggested that these approaches could be conducted with individuals (as in interviews), with groups (as in focused meetings known as workshops, or via Electronic meeting systems), or from "things" (artifacts) such as prototypes.

Famous quotes containing the word approaches:
“As the truest society approaches always nearer to solitude, so the most excellent speech finally falls into Silence. Silence is audible to all men, at all times, and in all places. She is when we hear inwardly, sound when we hear outwardly. Creation has not displaced her, but is her visible framework and foil. All sounds are her servants, and purveyors, proclaiming not only that their mistress is, but is a rare mistress, and earnestly to be sought after.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
