Abstract
It is widely accepted that setting up goal specifications is a
prerequisite for successful product development. However, the
knowledge about how goal specifications are set up and applied in
industrial practice is modest. In this paper we will describe an
empirical investigation of the handling of goal specifications in
two product development projects, which were carried out in two
Danish industrial companies. The aim of the investigation is to
identify patterns in the handling of specifications, i.e. expose
how goal specifications are set up, and how they are broken down
gradually as design work progresses. The result of the
investigation is the identification of a characteristic pattern of
transformations for a goal specification during a development
project.
