The most difficult part of requirements gathering, is not the act of recording what the users want; it is the explanatory, developmental activity of helping users figure out what they want.

Steps to follow to develop your requirements

1- Identify key users who have the credibility to define the requirements for the software, then interview to get a set of requirements.

2- Build and show a simple interactive prototype

3- Fully extend the prototype to all functionality of the software.

4-Baseline the specs and put it under change control

5-Write the documentation and write a seperate non-user interface requirements for algorithms, interactions with other hardware and software, also put this document under change control.

Be sure the users understand that the prototype is just a prototype. One risk of creating a Prototype is accidentally raising unrealistic expectations about the future progress of the project.
