Abstract

Agile software development is a methodology for creating software that prioritizes flexibility, collaboration, and iterative development. It emphasizes the rapid delivery of working software, with regular feedback and adaptation to changing requirements. This dissertation aimed to identify the challenges in the requirement gathering process for agile software development and propose solutions to aid the software industry in streamlining the development process. A multi-vocal literature review was conducted, and the challenges were identified. The findings showed that coordination is the most critical category, indicating that management should focus on researching related elements to achieve successful RE adoption in an agile environment. This study's findings provide a valuable reference for organizations and practitioners to address the challenges of the requirement gathering process in agile software development.
