Hi,

What are the questions we can ask to client/customer for requirement gathering.

E.g - If I have to gather requirements from customer what questions should I ask to them.

Thanks.

Hey Peter,

Here are some example questions to use in this context:

  • What is the purpose of this process?
  • What triggers this process to start?
  • Who is responsible to perform this process?
  • How does this process work today?
  • What is the end result or output of this process?
  • Is there a system that supports this process today?
  • If there is a system, are you able to show us how this system works?
  • If there is a system, are you able to provide us with some screen shots from this system?
  • If there is a system, are you able to refer us to where we can find the user guide for this system?
  • Why do you need this process?  What business objective does this process satisfy? (Ask this only if this is not obvious).
