Towards an Approach for Generating iStar Goal Models from Journey Maps

In contemporary software engineering practices, understanding user requirements and translating them into models is essential for effective system design and development. User journey maps offer a holistic view of user interactions with a system, while iStar goal models provide a structured representation of system goals and dependencies. This paper presents an ongoing effort to design an approach for generating iStar goal models from user journey maps. We propose a mapping between journey maps elements and iStar elements. Generating goal models from journey maps proves to be a non-trivial undertaking. Throughout this paper, we delve into various challenges encountered in this process and propose potential solutions to address them.
