Stakeholder interviews are usually associated with “Waterfall” styles of Software Development Life Cycles (SDLCs). They are a traditional process for eliciting requirements and focus on the perspectives and perceived needs of the stakeholder. They may provide a good understanding of the stakeholder’s unique business processes and business rules, and the in-person nature of the interviews provides a more relaxed environment where concepts and ideas may be thoroughly investigated.
