You are the business analyst for your organization and preparing to complete the requirements elicitation...

According to the BABOK® Guide, eliciting requirements is not a compartmentalized activity that can be completed in a single phase of the project. Rather, it is an ongoing process that occurs throughout the project life cycle, as new information is discovered, new stakeholders are identified, and changes are requested. Therefore, the duration of the requirements elicitation process is not determined by the schedule, the size, or the stakeholder involvement of the project, but by the evolving nature of the requirements themselves. References: BABOK® Guide v3, section 4.1, page 50; CBAP® Handbook, page 6.
