Experimental Evaluation of Wiki Technology and the Shaper Role in Rapid Interdisciplinary Requirements Negotiation

The challenges driven by multi-culture, multidiscipline stakeholders collaborating in a rapidly changing global environment necessitates an easily approachable mechanism for negotiating WinWin outcomes. Wiki has become an enabling technology for interdisciplinary collaboration. Following our initial development of a wiki-based requirements negotiation support tool – WikiWinWin, we experimented with using WikiWinWin to negotiate requirements in 20 real-client projects at University of Southern California (USC). Our initial results indicated better project outcomes were achieved as the use of the tool increased, as compared with the previous EasyWinWin tool.
