How to collect the requirement

[getmeidea]

I am working in software development. I am into a new project.
But here i feel difficulty in understanding requirement rather than implementation. But I want to have an idea so quickly and perfectly about this domain ?
So what can I do for this?
>> Necessary link which will give the detailed information about this domain?
>> Any community where professionals will give solution for that partcular
project domain ?

Requirements definition is a difficult task to master. The problem arises when the stakeholder doesn't know enough about the development environment, and the developers don't know enough about the business environment.

I recommend you find the book Classical and Object-Oriented Software Engineering by Stephen R. Schach (Irwin Publishing). It's an older book but it really helped me understand requirements gathering, analysis, and definition.

Is this for a class, or for work? If its for a class, I'm sure we can help you work through it and come out with a good idea, but if its for work, hire someone who knows what they are doing. Then you can get a good idea of a professional work (and I don't feel comfortable enough telling you how to gather requirements for a professional work if I'm not there and on the team)?

There will be different areas where we develop the software. They are like hospital, tele-Communications etc. When we just start developing s/w in which the domain is new for us, is difficult to achieve the entire requirement. But for each domain there will some common standard implementation.
Consider telecom domain. For all mobile companies there will be generalized way of implementation for the modules like Customer Management, Interconnect Billing etc. And the process will be common. Still based on different clients we have to customize the product. But until we develop the general module we will not get any feed-back from users. So to understand its architecture what can I do?

Whenever you start a new project, the project manager needs to sit down with the stakeholders to determine the requirements. Requirements gathering is almost always a long, drawn-out, painful process because the users don't know what they want until you tell them what they can have.

See I'm working as project leader so i no thy problem very well.
Whenever u starts any project u don't have any idia abt the domain
and then criteria to become perfect in any domain is, u no nothing.
to get some idia abt any domain starts from a breif review
then prepare qustionary ( the Q. say even any silly Q also)
then go for modrate review of answers
then list out the main phases in that domain
and then drill dwn the phase....
and continue........

hi
I am Jayesh Mehta

I would suggest you whenever you are into a new project, so first go slow and steadily dont panic and simply try to get the undertanding of the project.

based on it prepare the SRS(System Requirement Specification) of it and verify with the concerned person that this is your requirment which i understood.

then based on it if u didn't get anything kindly prepare the QUESTIONNAIRES and ask each and ever question to the concerned person because if you hesistate and it would be loss later on into your project.

than prepare the new SRS and then go further.

bye
