Information on Requirements Elicitation
Requirements elicitation requires working with customers and users to
understand the problem to be solved, the required performance of
the system, constraints and so on.
Requirements elicitation is
not simply a matter of asking stakeholders what they want.
Additionally, requirements elicitation is not always a simple knowledge
transfer process. In reality, users rarely have a clear view
of their requirements, different people in an organisation have conflicting
requirements, users are rarely aware of the limitations that technology
will have on their expectations, and so on.
