Requirements Gathering:
Requirements elicitation (also known as Requirements Gathering or Capture) is the
the various stakeholders (customers, users, vendors, IT staff, etc.) that will be used as
Brainstorming:
group of people. Generally used to identify possible solutions to problems, and clarify
details of opportunities.
Document Analysis:
Reviewing the documentation of an existing system can help when creating AS–IS
process document, as well as driving gap analysis for scoping of migration projects. In
an ideal world, we would even be reviewing the requirements that drove creation of the
Focus Group:
A focus group is a gathering of people who are representative of the users or customers
elicited requirements.
Interface analysis:
Interfaces for a software product can be human or machine. Integration with external
systems and devices is just another interface. User centric design approaches are very
effective at making sure that we create usable software. Interface analysis – reviewing
the touch points with other external systems is important to make sure we don’t
Interview:
Interviews of stakeholders and users are critical to creating the great software. Without
understanding the goals and expectations of the users and stakeholders, we are very
unlikely to satisfy them. We also have to recognize the perspective of each interviewee,
Observation:
By observing users, an analyst can identify a process flow, steps, pain points and
while observing). Passive observation is better for getting feedback on a prototype (to
Prototyping:
approach, you gather preliminary requirements that you use to build an initial version of
the solution - a prototype. You show this to the client, who then gives you additional
requirements. You change the application and cycle around with the client again. This
repetitive process continues until the product meets the critical mass of business needs
Requirement Workshops:
Workshops can be very effective for gathering requirements. More structured than a
diagrams, activity diagrams). A workshop will be more effective with two analysts than
with one.
Reverse Engineering:
When a migration project does not have access to sufficient documentation of the
existing system, reverse engineering will identify what the system does. It will not
identify what the system should do, and will not identify when the system does the
wrong thing.
Survey/Questionnaire:
When collecting information from many people – too many to interview with budget and
time constraints – a survey or questionnaire can be used. The survey can force users to
Feasibility study:
Feasibility is defined as the practical extent to which a project can be performed successfully.
To evaluate feasibility, a feasibility study is performed, which determines whether the solution
the software to the organization after it is developed and cost to be incurred on its
maintenance are considered during the feasibility study. The objective of the feasibility study is
to establish the reasons for developing the software that is acceptable to users, adaptable to
change and conformable to established standards. Various other objectives of feasibility study
To determine whether the software can be implemented using the current technology
To determine whether the software can be integrated with other existing software.
The below steps are carried out during entire feasibility analysis.

Types of Feasibility:
Various types of feasibility that are commonly considered include technical feasibility,
Technical feasibility:
Technical feasibility assesses the current resources (such as hardware and software) and
technology, which are required to accomplish user requirements in the software within the
allocated time and budget. For this, the software development team ascertains whether the
current resources and technology can be upgraded or added in the software to accomplish
specified user requirements. Technical feasibility also performs the following tasks.
Analyzes the technical skills and capabilities of the software development team
members.
Ascertains that the technology chosen for software development has a large number of
users so that they can be consulted when problems arise or improvements are required.
Operational feasibility:
Operational feasibility assesses the extent to which the required software performs a series of
steps to solve business problems and user requirements. This feasibility is dependent on human
resources (software development team) and involves visualizing whether the software will
operate after it is developed and be operative once it is installed. Operational feasibility also
Determines whether the problems anticipated in user requirements are of high priority.
acceptable.
Economic feasibility:
financial gains for an organization. It involves the cost incurred on the software development
team, estimated cost of hardware and software, cost of performing feasibility study, and so on.
For this, it is essential to consider expenses made on purchases (such as hardware purchase)
consider the benefits that can be achieved by developing the software. Software is said to be
