Abstract: Requirement elicitation plays an important role during the software development life cycle. The selection of an improper requirement elicitation method affectthe quality of developed software. Agile methodologies are popular in the industry and follow an incremental approach to developingsoftware. Agile methodologies value customerneeds, interaction among teams, interaction with customersand change management. Researchers proposed methods for requirement elicitation in agile software development. This research aimsto investigate the issues faced during requirement elicitation in agile software development. We identifiedthe method that motivates the requirements elicitation in agile software development to meet our objectives. Based on various factors includingintroductory overview, publications,trends and values,we identifiedstrengths and limitations. Based on the identified limitations, we proposednew requirement elicitation method useful in agile software development. To evaluate the results, two teams of equal expertise were given the same project to develop. One of the teams developed using the proposed frameworkand the other one did without using the proposed framework. Both of them were given the survey they filled out and gave their input on the requirement elicitation parametersand the results were compared and validated using a t-testand reliability analysis. The results of this research were proved promising specially in agile environments.
