Requirement engineering in startups

Abstract

Startup companies are usually negligent when it comes to formal requirement engineering or proper collection of requirements required for their projects which leads to their early demise before gaining enough traction in the market. This paper tries to explore the reasons as to why startups fail in context to requirement engineering and gather experiences from the industry to try and propose a framework that can help startups work with a feasible and cost-effective method towards implementation of formal requirement engineering processes to ensure a long and successful tenure in the software industry.
