Cognitive principles to support information requirements agility

Abstract

Despite the growing interest in agile information systems development approaches, we contend that existing approaches retain traditional assumptions about the structure of information, assumptions that inhibit agile responses to emerging and evolving information requirements. We suggest an approach, based on cognitive principles, to model information requirements by separating conceptual views of data from logical models, allowing the former to be changed without requiring changes to the latter. © 2013 Springer-Verlag.
