How do business analysts gather requirements in Agile?

business analysts gather requirements in Agile by identifying stakeholders initially, then conducting interviews to understand needs. They use brainstorming sessions to generate ideas, followed by creating prototypes and iterating them. It's crucial to validate these requirements and prioritise what's essential.

Effective communication is key throughout to ensure everyone is aligned.
