in your company, which role gathers the requirements from the client?
I work on a wide range of projects, from my company's own products to
military contracts. Requirement gathering varies from project to
project.
a) project manager makes inventory in the initial meetings and
passes them
to the interaction designer
This is the case for some of our products, as the product manager is a
domain expert.
b) project manager and interaction designer both do the initial
meetings
together. The interaction designer collects the requirements
This is also sometimes the case. In the situation mentioned above, for
example, working with the product manager is very much like working
with a target user.
c) other, namely......
Sometimes I collect requirements based on observations in the field.
Sometimes others collect requirements based on observations and I must
interpret them. Sometimes requirements come in from the client
directly to me, and the project manager isn't directly involved.
Sometimes I get a requirement from an issue tracking system and don't
know who it came from.

To design is much more than simply
to assemble, to order, or even to edit;
it is to add value and meaning,
to illuminate, to simplify, to clarify,
to modify, to dignify, to dramatize,
to persuade, and perhaps even to amuse.
