Good Sources on Requirements Gathering?


I have been asked to participate in updating the requirements gathering process at my employer.

However, I'm just a data scientist--I've participated in giving the requirements to Product/App Dev for algorithms/protoypes my DS team has developed. I don't have experiences on the other side of the the requirements gathering process.

I'd love to hear ideas of good sources (books, blogs, et. al., though I'm not a big fan of video/audio) that cover this for someone who can "develop" prototype statistic software in R/Python, but is pretty much a layperson when it comes to industrial-scale software development.

Sorry if this request is poorly-specced; I'm in the Rumsfeldian "unknown unknowns" territory.

Thanks!

If you get this wrong you could screw up the entire project. I highly recommend you draft an experienced individual for this task and shadow them.
