摘要
This paper explores the possibility that requirements engineering is, in principle, detrimental to software project success. Requirements engineering is conceptually divided into two distinct processes: sensemaking (learning about the project context) and problem structuring (specifying problems, goals, requirements, constraints, etc.). An interdisciplinary literature review revealed substantial evidence that while sensemaking improves design performance, problem structuring reduces design performance. Future research should therefore investigate decoupling the sensemaking aspects of requirements engineering from the problem structuring aspects.
