In my past projects, especially in the retail domain, gathering requirements was a critical task that I approached with a structured methodology. Initially, I conducted workshops and interviews with key stakeholders to understand their needs and expectations. This helped me to create a comprehensive list of business requirements. To ensure alignment with business goals, I facilitated regular meetings with stakeholders to discuss and refine these requirements, ensuring they were in sync with the strategic objectives of the organization. I also used tools like JIRA and Confluence to document and track these requirements, which allowed for transparency and easy access for all team members. In managing stakeholder expectations, I prioritized clear and consistent communication, providing updates on progress and addressing any concerns promptly. This approach not only helped in aligning the project with business goals but also in building trust and maintaining a positive relationship with stakeholders.
