1.0 Introduction This article explains the essential steps needed to create a Software Requirement Specification (SRS) for Recycle4Change (R4C)'s revolutionary recycling control system. It helps to comprehend R4C's functioning domain to succeed in this endeavour. Thus, a complete strategic analysis needs to consider both R4C's internal capabilities and its external environment. Diverse involvement of stakeholders and alignment are crucial, emphasising the requirement to map stakeholder interests and impact thoroughly. Further, stakeholder participation and alignment are essential as well. This research also examines how to choose and use customised elicitation methods to capture and change project demands. This structured inquiry allows the reader to explore strategic viewpoints, stakeholder challenges, and methodical elicitation accuracy. These elements are necessary for describing the SRS thoroughly and effectively. Therefore, this plan seeks to explain how to find a dependable software solution and increase R4C's commitment to environmentally responsible recycling across a vast network of partners. In particular, the approach is designed to accomplish both goals. 2.0 Discussion A: Strategic analysis Recycle4Change's (R4C) strategic analysis encompasses internal and external environments to identify the strategic position through a SWOT analysis. Internal Analysis Strengths: 1. Social Influence and Employment Endeavours: R4C strives to assist those who previously served in the legal system to find jobs and guidance. Women and youth will be addressed to achieve this objective. The strong social entrepreneurship framework R4C utilises is its foundation. This method makes it simpler for individuals to adjust to their communities and reduces the number of ex-convicts who re-offend. 2. Operational Efficiency: Automated depots and TOMRA Cleanaway Victoria (TCV) collaboration for the Victorian Government Container Deposit Scheme (CDS) boost operating efficiency. Due to its innovative equipment and procedures, R4C can effectively manage several containers. The incredible productivity of container processing allows us to achieve these goals (re-collect.com, 2023). Weaknesses: REQUIREMENTS ELICITATION REPORT FOR RECYCLE4CHANGE (R4C) 4
1. Initial Capital and Operational Costs: The startup stage mandates significant asset in technology, structures, and automobiles. Also, the social business model incurs higher operational expenses because of its emphasis on engagement and internship for marginalized groups, potentially affecting sustainability in the financial in the earlier steps. 2. Reliance on Government Contracts and Regulations: R4C's functions are particularly connected to the Victorian Government's CDS schedule. Any modifications in legislation, approach, or assurance terms could impact its operational capability and revenue creeks. External Analysis Opportunities: 1. Growing Environmental Awareness: As the public and government contribute more attention to waste and recycling administration, R4C may broaden its services and play an important part in the circular economy environment. As society progresses towards long-term viability CDS involvement could grow, increasing container volumes and R4C's operation. 2. Expansion Potential: The North Geelong and Hoppers Crossing accomplishments can be developed outside the country. This is because these areas established initial achievement. If the business is efficient and generates benefits to society, it may attract government collaborations and funds for development (epa.sa.gov.au, 2023). Threats: 1. Competitive Pressure: Even though R4C highlights its exclusive deal with TCV, the recycling and trash management business is very viable. New enterprises or modern technologies might threaten R4C's market position. Events like these are conceivable. 2. Economic Fluctuations: A drop in the economy or volatility in the economy might impact government budgets and agency spending, and that could affect environmental programmes and public CDS engagement. 3. Operational Risks: The activities R4C performs have specific risks due to their unique nature. Hazards include technical difficulties, supply chain delays, and difficulty acquiring suitable premises. The company's capacity to achieve contractual and operational targets may be influenced by the following issues (containersforchange.com.au, 2023).

It indicates that R4C must address its shortcomings and reduce risks to guarantee its long-term viability and sustainability, even though it is strategically positioned to benefit from its strengths and opportunities. It must accomplish this to be profitable and sustainable. B: Stakeholder Engagement Plan i. List of Stakeholders

Chance Creators (Parent Organization) Power: Moderate, as they deliver support and help to R4C but may not be presently concerned with day-to-day functions. Interest: High, as the sensation of R4C, recalls positively on their organisational objectives and social effect purposes. 3. Victorian Government Power: High, as they control the receptacle deposit procedure and may have management over project performance. Interest: Moderate to high, as the project aligns with their endeavours of environmental and sustainability. REQUIREMENTS ELICITATION REPORT FOR RECYCLE4CHANGE (R4C) 7
Power: Variable, pivoting on the size and effect of the consumer. Larger commercial consumers may have more elevated power. Interest: Moderate to high, as they are presently affected by the services supplied by R4C and may have conferred interests in the sustainability of the environment. 5. Employees Power: Moderate, as they contribute to the daily functions of R4C and may affect internal operations. Interest: High, as their livelihoods hinge on the conquest and sustainability of R4C's functions. 6. Suppliers Power: They are modest because they provide R4C essential resources and benefits. Interest: A modest level, as they profit from R4C's performance but may not directly influence project choices. 7. Regulatory Authorities Power: High, because they can enforce norms and procedures. Interest: Moderate to high, because they want R4C to follow regulations and laws (recycleright.wa.gov.au, 2023). C: Elicitation Activity Plan i. Selection of Elicitation Techniques 1. Interviews: Key actors might be interviewed for particular information. R4C may interview supporters, teammates, and clients to better understand project needs and expectations. 2. Surveys/Questionnaires: Encouragement of Surveys R4C to collect data from many stakeholders. This data gathering is helpful. By generating and sending customised surveys to clients, workers, and members of the community, R4C can learn about their preferences and requirements. 3. Focus Groups: Focus groups encourage stakeholders to talk about their ideas and perspectives. R4C may organise focus groups with representatives from several consumer segments to discuss recycling choices and requirements for service. 4. Prototyping: The initial versions of the software are built during the prototype phase to collect input and iteratively change application demands. R4C may create recycling REQUIREMENTS ELICITATION REPORT FOR RECYCLE4CHANGE (R4C) 8
management system prototypes and test them with a group of users to find usability problems and improve functionality (Alkhomsan, Baslyman, & Alshayeb, 2024). ii. Customized Examples for Elicitation Activities 1. Interviews: Project sponsors, personnel, and consumers obtain specific interview questions from R4C during preparation. These questions are meant to engage each group. Project managers, analysts in business, and other key stakeholders are actively involved. Methods of Session Management, In-person or remote interviews are conducted systematically to maintain consistency. Interviewers, who are project team members, and interviewees, who are consumers and sponsors, are project stakeholders. After analysing the results, R4C analyses interview transcripts to discover recurring problems and needs. A report summarising the most significant findings and suggestions is being created for this study. Stakeholders who were involved included project collaborators and other participants who participated in interviews. 2. Surveys/Questionnaires: Preparation: R4C creates closed- and open-ended internet surveys utilising survey software. Key stakeholders include managers of projects, analysts in business, and advertising. Targeted customers, workers, and community members get email and social media surveys. Respondents to the survey and the team working on the project. Outcomes: R4C analyses survey responses for patterns. Presenting survey findings and needs adjustment suggestions. Survey respondents and project group members. 3. Focus Groups: R4C organises conversations and sets facilitation standards with clients from different categories. The facilitators and project managers. A skilled facilitator leads online or in- person focus groups. Moderators and focus groups. R4C examines focus group declares for key insights and specifications. Reports consolidate outcomes and clarify priority. The project team and pay attention groups. 4. Prototyping: A recycling system for management concepts with primary features and user interfaces is created by R4C. Those who took part: UX/UI designers, and developers. Participants test and feedback on the working model. Participants: Testers, UX/UI designers, and managers of the project. Conclusion: R4C improves the functional version based on user assessment.

3.0 Conclusion Recycling4Change (R4C) Standards Elicitation Report illustrates strategic analysis, stakeholder involvement, and elicitation activity plan for recycling management system design. The Requirements Elicitation Report includes this report. R4C could conduct a SWOT analysis to identify weaknesses, strengths, possibilities, and threats. This data may guide decisions regarding strategy. This study may potentially reveal possibilities. The stakeholder engagement strategy must map stakeholder power and interests. This ensures project-wide communication and collaboration. The elicitation plan also includes four ways for gathering information from varied stakeholders. This includes interviews, surveys, group discussions, and prototypes. It improves solution quality and decreases risks related to the project. This is because it ensures that stakeholder needs match R4C aims. A systematic requirements elicitation strategy is essential for R4C project success. The Responsible Recycling Council (R4C) can create a responsible recycling management system that meets stakeholders' needs and helps the organisation meet its environmental and social goals. This objective requires prioritising stakeholder involvement and using effective elicitation methodologies. REQUIREMENTS ELICITATION REPORT FOR RECYCLE4CHANGE (R4C) 10
