Bridging Uncertainty Management and Requirements Engineering in R&D projects: a case in the e-mobility sector

Year: 2023

Type: article

Abstract: Complex systems R&D projects aim to explore innovative solution alternatives characterized by multiple uncertainties, requiring open specification in the early development stages. At the same time, complex systems development relies on detailed requirements management. In such projects, it may be necessary to monitor uncertainties evolution along with requirements management to balance innovation potential with implementation feasibility. This paper presents an approach to bridging uncertainty management and requirements engineering in R&D projects. The proposed approach has been applied in developing an electric vehicle charging robot. The paper contributes to the literature on the intersection between requirements engineering and innovation management.
