Abstract
The second activity of the method framework is Define Requirements. The goal is to identify and outline an artefact that can address the explicated problem and to elicit requirements on that artefact. In other words, the activity addresses the question:
What artefact can be a solution for the explicated problem and which requirements on this artefact are important for the stakeholders?
This chapter describes how to answer the question using research methods as well as practice-oriented methods. The chapter also introduces a number of generic artefact qualities that can be used for informing requirements elicitation and validation.
