Recurrent communication patterns in requirements engineering meetings

Current requirements engineering practice is not well-understood. There have been few useful studies of "good", as well as "not so good" practice. As such it is difficult to design new methods and tools which improve on poor practice and encourage good practice. This paper reports: a predictive model of canonical patterns of communication and artefact usage in requirements engineering meetings; and empirical studies of meetings to inform and extend the model. The model provides a basis for methods and tools to aid planning and facilitation of requirements engineering meetings.
