Business Events: the Key to Discovering the Real Requirements

People often complain about scope creep. But often creep happens because there was no formal definition of the scope in the first place. We have discovered that you need a formal mechanism for keeping track of two aspects of scope: the scope of the work that you need to investigate and the scope of the product that you intend to build.
The scope of the work identifies the part of the world that you need to investigate in order to discover the requirements. It does not matter what kind of work it is?commercial, scientific, embedded real time, manual or currently automated. However, this work scope is probably too large to be studied as a single unit. Just as you cut your food into small pieces before attempting to eat it, it is necessary to partition the work into manageable pieces before studying it to find the product?s requirements. Business events are the ideal tool for doing a traceable, non-subjective partitioning.
This talk will illustrate how to use the business events to define and study the work and to identify the appropriate and traceable product scope.

Multimedia and Information Systems is...
We focus on content-based information retrieval over a wide range of data spanning form unstructured text and unlabelled images over spoken documents and music to videos. This encompasses the modelling of human perception of relevance and similarity, the learning from user actions and the up-to-date presentation of information. Currently we are building a research version of an integrated multimedia information retrieval system MIR to be used as a research prototype. We aim for a system that understands the user's information need and successfully links it to the appropriate information sources, be it a report or a TV news clip. This work is guided by the vision that an automated knowledge extraction system ultimately empowers people making efficient use of information sources without the burden of filing data into specialised databases.
