Requirement elicitation for adaptive standards development

The recent digitization of manufacturing, also referred to as the fourth industrial revolution (or Industry 4.0), heavily relies on information standards for the exchange and integration of digital data across manufacturers and their partners. Standards are complex projects with a long lifecycle, often developed in a predictive environment, which no longer aligned with a fast paced industry. Adaptive environments have been proven to be an answer to this problem, but most project requirements management solutions have not evolved to support this shift. In this paper, we discuss the new challenges brought by a shift to adaptive environments, and introduce a solution to offer better requirement elicitation during standards development management with increased traceability and visibility.
