Requirements elicitation is the foundational process of discovering, understanding, and documenting the needs and expectations of stakeholders for a system, be it software, a product, or a business process. It involves more than just passively collecting information; it's an active and iterative investigation to uncover both explicit and implicit needs, ensuring that the final outcome truly addresses the underlying problem or opportunity. This critical activity sets the stage for the entire development lifecycle, influencing design, development, testing, and ultimately, project success.
