What is Market-Driven Requirements Engineering?

• Traditional RE (Bespoke development)
• A single, well-defined customer
• A customised system
• A contract the customer decides

• Market-driven RE (Product development)
• A large market with many potential customers
• A generic system
• No contract the development organisation decides
