| Abstract: | One of the reasons why existing software planning models fail to give accurate, consistent and reliable results is that they are based on inadequate factors which cannot be measured at the beginning of the development process. The theoretical aspects of a new modelare presented that attempts to overcome the problems faced by existing models through considering human factors which are relevant to the process of requirements capture and analysis. Emphasis is given to those factors whose value can be measured at the beginning of the development process. The factors that are examined are classified into four main categories: team members' attitude, users' attitude, project management and technology, and project characteristics. An explanation of the factors is provided and also a literature review is given. An analytical description of the research methodology followed and a brief presentation of the model developed are given. |
