Capability Driven Requirements Engineering
summary
Capability-driven requirements engineering presents a systematic, traceable method that starts from capability model and derives goal model, then builds actor and information models; validated on industrial-size manufacturing cases (managing inbound logistics and production disruptions). The workflow uses interviews, textual analysis and a requirements-engineering tooling stack that links goals to capabilities so a changed goal highlights affected capabilities and assets. Claims: creates a common business–technical language, supports incremental depth, and proved practical in multiple projects rather than remaining purely theoretical.
