Abstract
Software engineering literature and practice have shown that efficient
requirements management forms the essence of a successful software project.
When the requirements are volatile and the development environment is
unstable, Extreme Programming (XP) methodology provides efficient means to
cope with requirements through the onsite customer practice. However, for many
software companies, having an onsite customer present is difficult to
achieve. To solve this problem an Offsite Customer Process Model has been
proposed earlier. This paper reports results from a study of a mobile
application development project where the model was empirically evaluated. The
findings show that the model itself is context-dependent and it has to be
adapted to the underlying development process. Based on these findings, an
improved model is introduced. It is shown that the new model proved to work
efficiently and improved the developer-customer communication mechanisms.
