Needs Based Requirements are collected through interviews and typically capture requirements from a diverse stakeholder community.

Needs Based Requirements focus on:

• Current-state issues
• Business processes
• Future-state vision
• Prioritisation of requirements
• Meaures to determine success

Interviews can be conducted through workshops or in a 1-to-1 fashion. 1-to-1 interviews typically last 1-hour. The initial interviews will focus on free-form questions but will have some objective questions. There should be follow-up after the initial interview and typically later interviews are either more objective or focused on re-fining content. Capturing interview notes may be helpful in later stages for reference purposes.
