Description
Summary:Global software development projects face up a variety of challenges respect to communication and control that need to be solved or, at least, minimized. For that reason, processes crucially based on communication, like software requirements elicitation; have to be rethought in such a new context. Since requirement elicitation is a human-centred process, we propose using techniques from the field of cognitive psychology to define a strategy for selecting technology. With this goal, this paper introduces our approach and illustrates how cognitive styles might be used to improve a distributed process by selecting suitable groupware tools and elicitation techniques according to the characteristics of stakeholders
