+- A process by which analysts gather information on what the system should do, from as many sources as possible. 
+- All methods are effective but some are more efficient than others. 
+- Different methods can be combined for more comprehensive fact-finding.
+
+# Characteristics of good Analysts
+Impertinence ⇒ question everything, assume nothing 
+Impartiality ⇒ find the best solution to the business problem 
+Relax ⇒ constraints assume anything is possible but eliminate the infeasible 
+Attention ⇒ to detail be precise, comprehensive, and consistent 
+ReFraming ⇒ be creative and “think outside the box”
+
+# Stakeholders
+- Internal stakeholders — people within the organisation, e.g., employees, volunteers, ….
+- External stakeholders — people outside the organisation, e.g., suppliers or shipping companies.
+- Operational stakeholders — people who regularly interact with the system, e.g., accountants, factory supervisors, customers, ….
+- Executive stakeholders — people who don’t directly interact, but use the information or have a financial interest, e.g., senior managers, board of directors, regulatory authorities, ….

+# Information Gathering
+- Existing Information
+- Interview and discussions
+- Observew and document business process
+- Prototypes
+- Questoinnaires
+- Vendor Solutions
+
+# Validation of Requirements
+- Make sure gathered information is correct. 
+- Structured walk-through: 
+	- effective way to implement quality control early in project 
+	- verify and validate system requirements 
+	- review of findings from investigation 
+	- review of models based on findings 
+- Project manager responsible for system quality. 
+- Schedule review soon after document creation. 
+- Review conducted by experienced analyst and stakeholders, presented by analyst.
+
+# Requirements in Agile Methodologies
+
+- Requirements should be decoupled: 
+	- must be as independent as possible 
+	- identify which requirements to implement not when to implement them 
+- Every iteration includes a requirements collection and prioritisation activity: 
+	- important requirements are implemented next 
+	- less important requirements held to later iterations, or not implemented at all 
+	- [scrum](notes/scrum.md): product backlog 
+	- [UP](notes/unified-processes.md): inception & elaboration phases 
+	- [xp](notes/extreme-programming.md): user stories

 This is where the requirements are specified and refined, and models and documents are created. All the requirements are compiled into a [requirements document](notes/requirements-document).
