Abstract

Over the past 10 years Unic has developed a requirements gathering methodology called “The Process Landscapes” (see Fig. 4.1). In this methodology Unic employees have written down all the e-commerce and PIM processes the company has automated at one time or another. For each of these main processes Unic also defined the sub-processes, and for these again the sub-sub-processes (or items), and on the lowest level the user stories. A user story is a short description in everyday language that captures what a user wants to do with the system on such a detailed level that the developer can program this.
