Discussion – System Analysis and design

Research a scholarly paper or professional video on  "Gathering Requirements" and reflect on only one (1) of the following:

· "Business vs Functional": How is the difference between a Business Requirement and Functional Requirement in systems analysis and design? 

· "Components": What are the components of a business System Requirement? 

· "Interactive Methods": Which of the following is more beneficial: interviewing, questionnaires, sampling, document analysis, observation, or text analytics when working with Systems Analysis and Design?

· "CCB": What is a Change Control Board when managing business System changes?

NOTE: You must copy and paste the topic you chose (either "PMI" or "3-legged stool") at the start of your initial post to provide a context for your answer. Your initial post must be between 200-250 words on what caught your eye and reflect on what you read.  Your initial post must provide one APA reference with in-text citation.  Do not use the textbook as a resource. The reference must include the URL/DOI of your resource so that other students can view the content themselves.
