b. requirements-gathering
During the requirements-gathering phase of the systems development life cycle (SDLC) model, an information systems designer's main task is to understand and document the specific needs of the organization. This phase involves direct interaction with end users and stakeholders to collect detailed information about the expectations from the new system. It is critical in this phase to identify the actual problems the organization is facing, rather than just noting the symptoms of underlying issues. By focusing on the root cause, the designer ensures that the system to be developed will effectively address and resolve the actual problem, rather than just providing a temporary fix.
