Abstract: In the context of enterprise engineering, strategic planning, information systems engineering, and software engineering activities should be tightly integrated. Traditional, interview-based requirements gathering and elicitation techniques are suited for this aim not enough well and often lead to the violation of the strategic alignment. The vision-driven requirements engineering has been proposed to solve this problem. The paper contributes to the further development of vision-driven requirements engineering techniques. It proposes a methodical framework that defines a complete scheme to organize different level requirements and allows to flowdown requirements from business to software level preserving their business-orientation.

Keywords: enterprise engineering, methodical frameworks, requirements engineering, strategic alignment vision driven approach
