The AI team take a deep dive into an excerpt from Tom Gilb’s updated book on stakeholder engineering, focusing on a method for systematically identifying, analyzing, and managing stakeholders and their requirements throughout a system’s lifecycle. The author emphasizes a unique definition of “stakeholder,” including non-human entities, and advocates for continuous stakeholder discovery and continuous analysis of their evolving needs. The text details methods for eliciting and prioritizing stakeholder requirements, utilizing quantitative techniques and tools like the “Impact Estimation Table” and the ValPlan app for improved clarity and efficiency in planning. The book also provides numerous principles, patterns, and templates to guide the stakeholder engineering process, with case studies illustrating practical applications and benefits. Finally, the excerpt includes references to supplementary materials and tools for further study.
