Using i* in Requirements Projects: Some Experiences and Lessons (original) (raw)

The i* approach, although the result of mature research, has yet to be applied widely in practice. This chapter reports three major industrial projects in which we applied i* to specify complex socio-technical systems. It provides the rationale for adopting i* and results that were obtained in the projects. From these experiences we report and demonstrate 10 lessons learned about using i* effectively in industrial projects, and the benefits that can be gained from its effective use. We believe that these lessons have broader implications for the uptake of requirements modelling techniques.
