Abstract

In this paper, we describe a requirements engineering method with a focus on the conceptualization of alternative service offerings. The practical context for our project is based on the first author’s work in a startup. Our proposed method is suitable for exploring market opportunities while specifying a service offering. Our method helps requirements engineering practitioners understand the business and technology worlds by modeling business needs and technical capabilities in the same model.
