  - Technological progress, upcoming cyber-physical systems, and limited resources
    confront small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with the challenge of complexity
    management in product development projects spanning over the entire product lifecycle.
    SMEs require a solution for documenting and analyzing the functional relationships
    between multiple domains such as products, software, and processes. The German
    research project FuPEP “Funktionsorientiertes Komplexitätsmanagement in allen
    Phasen der Produktentstehung” aims to address this issue by developing an assistance
    system that supports product developers by visualizing functional relationships.
    This paper presents the methodology and results of the assistance system’s requirements
    elicitation with two SMEs. Conducting the elicitation during a global pandemic,
    we discuss its application using specific techniques in light of COVID-19. We
    model problems and their effects regarding complexity management in product development
    in a system dynamics model. The most important requirements and use cases elicited
    are presented, and the requirements elicitation methodology and results are discussed.
    Additionally, we present a multilayer software architecture design of the assistance
    system. Our case study suggests a relationship between fear of a missing project
    focus among project participants and the restriction of requirements elicitation
    techniques to those possible via web conferencing tools.@eng
