- 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.

|
||
- 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, ….

# 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
