Requirements analysis

Requirements analysis is a process of understanding what you need to do before you start working on a project. It's like making a grocery list before going to the supermarket. There are lots of things you might want, but you don't want to buy them all. You need to figure out what you need.

In a requirements analysis, you start by gathering information. You talk to people who will be using the project, like customers or other stakeholders. You ask questions to understand what they need and what they're expecting. Then you make a list of all the things you need to do to make the project successful.

Once you have a list of what you need to do, you make sure you can do it. That means looking at the resources you have available (like time or money) and seeing if you have what it takes to get the job done.

Once you understand what you need and can do, you can start making a plan. You'll decide what tasks to do, in what order, and how long they'll take.

Requirements analysis helps you plan out the project, so you can make sure it meets the needs of everyone who will use it.
