Consultant assistant - A tool for collaborative requirements gathering and business process documentation

Abstract

In this paper we present Consultant Assistant (CA), a tool to assist business consultants in collaborative requirements gathering and business process documentation. CA is a web tool that uses a model-based approach to capture the requirements. CA allows users to select relevant components of industry-specific process hierarchies, reuse documents from past engagements, collaboratively author requirements, and publish these requirements in a document based format. These documents can further be published to an asset repository for future reuse.
