About Requirements Elicitation:-

Requirements Elicitation or Requirements Gathering is the process used to collect requirements from stakeholders, users or customers.Every software must solve a purpose.

The ultimate purpose which it must solve can be explained in detail only by the end users.
However, mere taking of orders from them is not going to suffice.

The lack of technical knowledge, logical reasoning and in expertise all makes user instructions incompatible for software development.Hence, Requirement Elicitation is used to document requirements from stakeholders.

It is done in a methodological manner so that developers have a clear idea of what is required before software development process begins.
