A New approach to Requirements Elicitation Using Paper Prototype

Requirement elicitation is a critical activity in the requirement development process and it explores the requirements of stakeholders. The common challenges that analysts face during elicitation process are to ensure effective communication between analyst and the users. Mostly errors in the systems are due to poor communication between user and analyst. This paper proposes an improved approach for requirements elicitation using paper prototype. The paper progresses through an assessment of the new approach using student projects developed for various organizations. A case study project is explained in the paper.
