Abstract
The most crucial aspect of software engineering is the gathering of requirements. Increasing the amount of time and improving the quality of effort expended at this stage will lead to fewer and more manageable problems later on in the development life-cycle. The purpose of this paper is to highlight one of the most crucial problems that afflict user organizations when engaging in IT systems: the problem that the requirements for the system may change and evolve during the construction of the system. What we propose in this paper is a framework in which evolving and emerging requirements can be dealt with in an iterative manner within a method constructed upon a user-centered design philosophy. This paper is a presentation of recent developments made in the ORDIT project which was reported on last year.<>
