Abstract: Requirements elicitation, which involves working closely with stakeholders to identify the current needs of a product and establishing a shared vision and goals for a project, is a crucial stage in software development. Many experts concur that when requirements are incorrect, incomplete, or confusing, it can negatively impact software projects' quality, cost, and timely delivery. Problems of understanding relate to poor comprehension of requirements within and between groups, such as users and developers. Requirements engineering (RE) is a crucial practice that involves understanding and identifying the needs of customers, users, and stakeholders to develop systems and software that are highly likely to satisfy those needs. Since software project failures are often difficult to predict, enhancing the efficiency of requirements gathering can greatly contribute to the success of a project. It is crucial to comprehend the challenges in collecting requirements and enable the implementation of suitable preventative measures to overcome, avoid, or tackle them in a manner that minimises their adverse impact on the overall project achievement. To overcome these challenges and accurately identify stakeholders' needs, various processes for requirements elicitation have been proposed in the literature.
