Report on Methods for Gathering User Requirements

This paper is based on the following requirements -
QA Forum 1 - User Requirements Gathering
Understanding user requirements is an integral part of information systems design and is critical to the success of interactive systems. It is now widely understood that successful systems and products begin with a thorough understanding of the needs and requirements of the users (Maguire, & Bevan, 2002, p1).
Critical Reflection Question: Gathering user requirements can be a complex process, with numerous methods to choose from.
In this week’s critical reflection, you will write in response to the following question: "What method would you use for user requirements gathering, and why?"
To answer this question well, your response should:
· Give justifications or reasons explaining why you have chosen one method as the ‘best’
· Consider the advantages and disadvantages of different methods of user requirements gathering
You need to critically analyse both the methods AND your own decision-making in choosing a ‘best’ method. Make sure your personal thinking is clearly expressed and supported by relevant references (i.e. the Maguire & Bevan paper, plus 4+ other references).
When evaluating the merits of different methods, make sure to consider the critical questions raised in the project management literature:
· How are these methods shaped by the complexity of gathering user requirements?
· What role does design thinking play in user requirement gathering?
