A Project Management Primer - Scope - Requirements Capture - Questionnaires (#16 in the Hut A Project Management Primer)
By Nick Jenkins
Questionnaires are a typical way of gathering requirements from stakeholders. By using a standard set of questions the project team can collect some information on everyone’s needs. While questionnaires are efficient for rapidly gathering a large number of requirements their effectiveness can be limited since it is a one way process. If you don’t ask the right questions, you don’t get the right answers. There is also no way to seek clarification or resolve conflict. To resolve this, questionnaires are usually used in conjunction with other methods, such as interviews.
