Abstract
Hedonic requirements, which specify a user’s intended emotional response, are critical to success in many types of software, games, and interactive experiences. By surveying over 300 IT project managers, we reveal a strong link between their perception of these requirements and project success, highlighting the need for better methods to manage emotional goals.
