An organization's ability to create successful products depends on how extensively it collects, analyzes and utilizes requirements information in its product development.

This paper addresses issues in the design and implementation of groupware-supported requirements processes by drawing on experiences from large-scale industrial development projects within Nokia. The primary contribution of the paper is the conceptual design …
