I yell "OUT OF SCOPE" and run away.
:-) Seriously though, the process changes based on the importance (cost) of
the project. For low-cost projects, I will gather everyone in a room for a
few hours, brainstorm, write on the whiteboard until we have our first
design - very collaborative, very little research. For high-cost projects
it is much more formal. BA delivers requirements, I create UI Design spec,
we meet with project sponsors, make changes, we meet with product, make
changes... it's very iterative. UI design starts with requirements,
fleshes out during design, changes again after usability testing, then
there's performance testing that can further change design. There is
usually ample time for research on a high-cost project.
Do I get enough input? Having a dedicated business analyst and engaged
project sponsors helps tremendously.

This may only apply to inhouse folks, but I am curious about how you as a
designer interact with business development folks? Those are the people,
sometimes in marketing, bizdev (obviously) and sometimes in product, that
come up with great ideas that they want to flush out.
Is this a collaborative process - or is it more waterfall.? Do you get
enough input? Is there research done?
