Abstract

This paper outlines the main achievements of the TACO project. The overall objective of the TACO project was to improve the knowledge about principles and best practices related to the issues concretised in the TACO preproject. On the basis of experiences in the Nordic countries, the project aimed at identifying the best practices and most important criteria for ensuring effective communication in relation to requirements elicitation and analysis, understandability of requirements to all parties, and traceability of requirements through the different design phases. It is expected that the project will provide important input to the development of guidelines and establishment of recommended practices related to these activities.
