How do I conduct a requirements interview to elicit project goals and constraints?▼

A requirements interview uses stepwise, guided questioning across a decision-tree of topics like goals, context, users, and risks to surface all requirements and reach a complete understanding of the task.

What is the best way to structure stakeholder interviews for feature planning and bug diagnosis?▼

The best way to structure stakeholder interviews is by applying a decision-tree workflow that tracks dependencies and iteratively refines responses until a stable problem statement with success criteria is produced.

When do I need to use a structured elicitation process for project planning?▼

You need a structured elicitation process when an agent must deeply understand a task before implementation, such as eliciting requirements for a new feature, diagnosing a bug, or defining architectural plans.

Can I use a decision-tree interview to track dependencies and define acceptance criteria?▼

Yes, a decision-tree interview supports dependency tracking and iterative refinement to help you define and consolidate final acceptance criteria, risks, and constraints into an agreed problem statement.

How do I consolidate elicited requirements into a complete problem statement with risks and success criteria?▼

You consolidate elicited requirements by following a guided questioning workflow that surfaces goals, data, and interfaces, then iterating until a final consolidated problem statement with risks and success criteria is reached.
