A data team has gathered requirements for a new reporting system. The stakeholders have provided conflicting requirements: the finance team wants daily reports, the marketing team wants weekly reports, and the executive team wants a real-time dashboard. The team must document these requirements. What is the best way to handle the conflicts in the documentation?

Document only the requirements that are agreed upon and omit the conflicting ones

Prioritize the executive team's requirement because they have the highest authority

Combine all requirements into a single 'reporting frequency' requirement of 'as needed'

Document each requirement with its source, priority, and any conflicts, and escalate unresolved conflicts to the project sponsor

Why is it important to identify all relevant stakeholders early in the requirements gathering process?

To reduce the number of meetings required

To speed up the project by skipping stakeholder input

To eliminate the need for documentation

To ensure that all perspectives are considered and requirements are complete
