Interviews are good for which of the following? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer
(1) Getting an overall understanding of what stakeholders do and how they might interact with the new system
(2) Understanding the difficulties that stakeholders face with current systems
Explanation
Interviews are good for getting an overall understanding of what stakeholders do, how they interact with systems, and the difficulties they face. They are NOT effective for eliciting deep domain knowledge (specialists use jargon that is hard to decode) or for discovering organizational requirements driven by subtle power relationships.
