 A one-to-one interview is the most common type of interview as part of requirements elicitation. A one-to-one interview is a systematic approach for eliciting information from a single person in an informal or formal setting by asking questions and documenting the responses. A one-to-one interview allows the business analyst to establish rapport with the interviewee, probe deeper into their needs and expectations, observe their non-verbal cues, and clarify any ambiguities or inconsistencies. A one-to-one interview is also easier to schedule and conduct than other types of interviews that involve multiple participants, such as many-to-one, many-to-many, or one-to-many. References:
