Structured meetings for non-functional requirements elicitation

The statement that requirements engineering process calls for special attention in every software development project is commonly known. So the question arises, how to begin this process to obtain results of good-enough quality? The paper focuses on one of the initial steps of requirements engineering process. It presents and evaluates a structural time-boxed computer-supported approach for non-functional requirements elicitation. A multiple case study experiment involving nine projects hosted at Poznan University of Technology was conducted. The obtained results of the evaluation are promising for future adaption of the method in industry environment.
