Requirements gathering is a process that includes several stages:
-
Information collection — meeting with the customer or stakeholders to understand business goals, problems, and expectations.
-
Analysis and clarification — detailed discussion, identifying priorities, constraints, and potential risks.
-
Documentation — creating a formal requirements document (specification, User Stories, Use Cases) that describes functions, non-functional requirements, and acceptance criteria.
-
Validation — agreeing on requirements with the customer and team, checking for completeness and realism.
-
Transfer to development — documenting requirements in a task management system (Jira, Trello, etc.), breaking down into tasks, assigning responsible persons.
-
Support and clarification — during development, requirements may be refined, so it is important to maintain communication with the team and the customer.
Example: when requesting a new feature in a web application, I conduct an interview with the customer, record key usage scenarios, form User Stories with acceptance criteria, agree on them, then create tasks in Jira with descriptions and priorities so that the team can start development.
