Even though Agile methods have become widely popular, these methods have no structure when it comes to requirements elicitation and specification, which can have impact on whether a project has favourable outcome. Nevertheless, regardless of the chosen approach by industry practitioners, it is important to identify, which activities are currently performed, and analyse the causes and possible issues, which are encountered. The paper presents results from expert survey on the importance of activities related to requirements elicitation, analysis and specification process and the use of tools to support this process. Delphi method, which is used to evaluate the responses, is described. Lists of activities are ranked according to importance and additional information on expert responses is given in the paper. The information can give an insight into the activities and tools that are used in the industry.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2478\/acss-2019-0018","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,2,21]],"date-time":"2020-02-21T04:31:00Z","timestamp":1582259460000},"page":"141-149","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Results From Expert Survey on System Analysis Process Activities"],"prefix":"10.2478","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Laima","family":"Leimane","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Riga Technical University , Riga , Latvia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7983-3088","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Oksana","family":"Nikiforova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Riga Technical University , Riga , Latvia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"374","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,2,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026042709091113110_j_acss-2019-0018_ref_001_w2aab2b8c17b1b7b1ab1ab1Aa","unstructured":"[1] A.
