System analysts obtain information from people who will be using the system, either by interviewing them or by watching them at work.

Develop User Interface Dialogs
Evaluate Requirements with Users
Analysts need to talk to everyone who will use the new system or has used similar systems, and they must read nearly everything available about the existing system.

The analyst tries to understand an existing system by identifying all present and future locations where work occurs and all system interfaces with other systems, both inside and outside the organization.

Users and analysts need to ask themselves which functions are truly important and which are fairly important but not absolutely required.

Once the system requirements are well understood, it is important to establish which requirements are most crucial for the system.

Evaluate Requirements with Users
The reason why the functions requested by the users are being prioritized is that resources are always limited, and the analyst must always be prepared to justify the scope of the system.

Requirements priorities also help to determine the number, composition, and ordering of project iterations.

To most users, the user interface is all that matters. Thus, developing user interface dialogs is a powerful method of eliciting and documenting requirements.

Analysts can develop user interfaces via abstract models, such as interaction diagrams and written dialogs, or they can develop storyboards or user-interface prototypes on the actual input/output devices that users will use.

Analysts usually use an iterative process in which they elicit user input to model requirements, return to the user for additional input or validation, and then work alone to incorporate the new input and refine models.

The processes of eliciting requirements, building models and prototypes, and evaluating them with users may repeat many times until requirements models and prototypes are complete and accurate.

Most of the analyst’s time is devoted to requirements: gathering information about them, formalizing them, by using models and prototypes, refining and expanding them, prioritizing them, and generating and evaluating alternatives.

One useful way to help identify all the interested stakeholders is to consider two dimensions by which they vary: internal stakeholders versus external stakeholders; and operational stakeholders versus executive stakeholders

More than any other activity, observing the business process in action will help in understanding the business functions and visualize the new system’s associated business process.

None.
Observing the business process can be done in many ways, ranging from a quick walk-through of an office or plant to doing the work by the person who conducts the data gathering.

Three positive contributions in exploring existing
solutions.
1. Researching existing solutions will frequently help
users generate new ideas for how to better perform
their business functions.
2. Some of these solutions are excellent and state of the
art.
3. It is often cheaper and less risky to buy a solution
rather than to build it.
