2. Learning outcomes Outcome 1 : Understand the advantages and limitations that different systems development models bring to the requirements elicitation process. Outcome 2 :Understand a general model of the requirements elicitation process and how this leads to the production of a problem definition.

3. Learning outcomes Outcome 3 : Be ware of the different techniques used for data collection and understand how to apply some of more common ones.
