Explanation

The three most widely used requirements elicitation techniques are brainstorming sessions (A), scheduled interviews (B), and facilitated workshops (E). Brainstorming generates a broad range of ideas and requirements quickly from multiple participants. Scheduled interviews allow deep, structured, one-on-one exploration of stakeholder needs. Facilitated workshops bring groups together to collaboratively define and agree on requirements. Shop floor observation (C) is a valid technique (also called job shadowing or ethnography) but is less universally applied and more domain-specific. Current state analysis (D) is an analytical technique used to understand existing systems, not primarily a requirements gathering technique. A, B, and E are consistently recognized as the foundational elicitation methods in business analysis frameworks.
