Collecting requirements is the process of

determining, documenting, and managing
stakeholder needs and requirements to meet the
set objectives.

The process helps to provide the basis for

defining both the product and the project scope.
Definitions

This process is performed once in the life of a

project or at predetermined points based on
how progressively the project documents are
being elaborated, and its life cycle.

These requirements will need to be S.M.A.R.T.
