Nearly 39% of projects fail because of the faulty requirements gathering process. It’s almost impossible to create a product that works as defined, meets its goals and satisfies the stakeholders when you don’t have strong requirements to move forward from.
“If you don’t know where you are going, any road will get you there” – this quote by Lewis Carrol has survived decades because it remains apt and surprisingly conveys the value of requirements gathering for software development pretty well. In other words, you should understand what you want to get in the end and why you actually need it.
In nearly every case, spending time for collecting requirements helps you receive a far superior product with less sticking points and frustration.
