Background This research paper is concerned with providing the reader with a framework to facilitate the transformation of norms and values of an enterprise into IT requirements necessary for the construction of an IT project. Within the literature there are many studies whose purpose is to appropriate the reader with an understanding of how to effectively and efficiently extract IT requirements from a particular source in order to properly execute an IT project. Within the scope of this research paper we have focused mainly on the research domains and related papers concerning Value Sensitive Design, IT Alignment and Requirements Engineering. Methodology This study has been performed through an extensive literature review and semi-structured interviews with experts in the field of IT business. The research methodology used to derive the constructed framework is an adjusted approach of Verschuren and Hartog’s (2005) design cycle. The adjustment concerns the final two phases of Verschuren and Hartog’s (2005) design cycle, where they use the implementation and evaluation phase. This two phases have been omitted and replaced with the verification and illustration phase, mainly due to time and resource constraints. Results The result of this study is a framework that allows the reader to identify norms and values and transform those norms and values of a given enterprise into IT requirements. The usage of the framework has been illustrated by a case and verified by the field experts.
