When working on a new project, I generally approach gathering requirements through uncovering the business processes. The requirements come out of the information gathered for the processes. I also ask extra questions so I can gather both.

I have always loved cooking. I learned from my Grandma June and her kitchen was her sanctuary, a small, warm sunlit space filled with jars of spices, stacks of cookbooks, and the comforting smell of something always on the stove or baking in the oven.
