Components of Requirements Elicitation and how it's different

Requirements elicitation is the process of identifying and gathering information about the needs and expectations of stakeholders to define the requirements for a product, system, or service. The components of requirements elicitation include:

1. **Stakeholder Identification**: Identifying who are the key stakeholders involved in the project and their roles.
2. **Stakeholder Analysis**: Analyzing the stakeholders' goals, objectives, and expectations to understand their needs and concerns.
3. **Interviews**: Conducting one-on-one or group interviews with stakeholders to gather information about their requirements.
4. **Questionnaires**: Using questionnaires or surveys to collect written responses from stakeholders about their requirements.
5. **Observation**: Observing stakeholders in their natural environment to gain a deeper understanding of their needs and behaviors.
6. **Focus Groups**: Conducting focus groups with stakeholders to gather feedback and opinions on specific topics.
7. **Requirements Workshops**: Organizing workshops or meetings with stakeholders to discuss and agree on requirements.
8. **Use Cases**: Developing use cases to describe the scenarios in which the product, system, or service will be used.
9. **User Stories**: Creating user stories that capture the functional and non-functional requirements from a user's perspective.
10. **Requirements Documentation**: Documenting the requirements in a clear and concise manner, including any assumptions, constraints, and dependencies.
11. **Validation**: Validating the elicited requirements with stakeholders to ensure they are accurate and complete.
12. **Prioritization**: Prioritizing the elicited requirements based on their importance and urgency.

These components of requirements elicitation help to ensure that the needs and expectations of all stakeholders are captured and documented accurately, which is essential for developing a product, system, or service that meets its intended purpose.
