Title:Challenges Faced by Stakeholders during the Requirement Engineering Phase: An Exploratory Study
Abstract:Stakeholders are the backbone of any organization and play a vital role in the completion of   any   product.   Different   stakeholders   with   different   roles,   skills,   natures,   and experiences  are  involved  throughout  the  Software  Development  Life  Cycle  (SDLC). Unlike  other  phases  of  SDLC,  Requirement  Engineering  (RE)  requires  more  stakeholders, active participation, focus, and collaboration. However, stakeholder involvement makes the RE phase more difficult and impacts other phases of Software Development. The inherent complexity of the RE phase is due to numerous factors, including diverse skill sets, language disparities,  comprehension  issues,  and  lack  of  interest,  thereby  rendering  it  particularly challenging for stakeholders. Literature also highlights some practices to resolve these issues, like enhancing communication and building trust among team members to overcome these challenges, but still, all these challenges affect software development in one way or another, and lead projects toward failure.
