követelménygyjtéssel

Követelménygyűjtés, often translated as requirements elicitation or requirements gathering, is a fundamental phase in the software development and systems engineering lifecycle. It involves the process of discovering, documenting, and understanding the needs and constraints of stakeholders for a new system or a modification to an existing one. This phase is critical because the quality of the gathered requirements directly impacts the success of the project. Inaccurate or incomplete requirements can lead to scope creep, budget overruns, missed deadlines, and ultimately, a product that fails to meet user expectations.

The process typically involves close collaboration with various stakeholders, including end-users, clients, business analysts, and technical teams. Various techniques are employed to elicit requirements, such as interviews, workshops, surveys, observation, prototyping, and analyzing existing documentation. The goal is to identify functional requirements, which describe what the system should do, and non-functional requirements, which define the quality attributes and constraints of the system, such as performance, security, and usability. Effective requirement gathering requires strong communication skills, active listening, and the ability to ask clarifying questions to ensure a shared understanding of the project's objectives. The output of this phase is usually a requirements specification document that serves as a blueprint for subsequent development activities.
