When Have You Finished Gathering Requirements?
Requirements emerge from a series of communications between analysts and project
stakeholders (application users, members of the marketing team, and so on). As you
capture requirements, you check your work with the appropriate stakeholders. When
the stakeholders and your team come to agreement, your initial job of gathering
requirements is finished.
Of course, as the project progresses, you will continue to manage the requirements,
adding some, possibly removing others, and responding to changes.
