Competencies of a Requirement Engineer -Systematic Literature Review Protocol

Requirement Engineering (RE) is a core activity of software engineering that guarantees successful project delivery within time and budget. It needs to be considered with respect to the competencies and skills of RE to effectively execute the RE processes and individual sustainability of requirement engineers. Several skill and competency frameworks are proposed and remember in various fields, however there is no competency framework for software requirement engineers. In this research work a systematic literature review protocol is presented as an initial step to design the framework that constitutes the competencies required for RE. Focusing on the competencies and skills of a requirement engineer will help to effectively perform requirement engineering tasks that will eventually lead to the success of a project.
