Does Continuous Requirements Engineering need Continuous Software Engineering?

Agile development methods allow rapid adaptations of requirements to fast changing needs in businesses and society. Their combination with Continuous Requirements Engineering seems to be very effective. However, agile methods are applied to the development process only. Maintenance is often not organized in the same way. Continuous Delivers might be a solution for that. Additionally, the focus on users is important. Currently, often customers are mentioned only. The paper discusses aspect of Continuous business process modeling, Continuous Requirements Engineering, and Human-Centred Design in relation to Continuous Software Engineering. It especially focusses on the problem whether Continuous Requirements Engineering without Continuous Software Engineer-
