Abstract
At present, the organizational requirements are considered to be one of the most important aspects in the development of information systems. Many research efforts in software engineering have focused on integrating organizational modeling as a key piece in requirements engineering. However, the majority of these works focus only on the definition of notations that permit the representation of the semantics of the organizational context, and only a few works define processes that use these notations in a methodological way. This lack of a methodological process for generating organizational models makes practical application in software development enterprises difficult. The objective of this paper is to present a goal-based method to obtain and refine organizational requirements. These requirements are used to validate the understanding of the organizational process before constructing the information system. This will enable us to develop information systems that integrate the necessary functionality so that the organizational actors perform their tasks and fulfill their goals.
