This is EP2, can you share the EP1 of this topic - Requirements Gathering | Workshop - Gather Requirements in 12 Steps

[shuchisharma]

As per my understanding, interview sessions, questionnaires, workshops are different type of req gathering.
Am I correct? If it is so…. How a BA decides to opt which req gathering technique for which project?

[OldManOnTrak]

Interesting. This format seems to be ignoring a few things: 1) That you can gather all the stakeholders in the same place for a full day in order to gather ALL of the requirements. 2) That stakeholders know what they want at the time of the workshop. Requirements have a habit of changing as the project proceeds. 2) Getting someone to 'sign off' requirements creates a contractual relationship between users/customers and the solution developers that leads to a blame culture whenever something is misunderstood or mistakes happen... which is almost inevitable. It is also used by developers as an excuse to ignore any user need identified after the workshop because "it's not in the requirements document" and creates a mess of change management that isn't really necessary.

A part of a BAs job is running workshops. How does this fit into scrum?
Im slightly confused. I have learned about scrum, workshops, ux, user stories.
In what order does all this come together?
