AI Evaluation:

Your answer touches on many important aspects of requirements gathering, such as working closely with stakeholders, utilizing agile methodologies like Scrum, documenting current and future landscapes, and the importance of effective communication and collaboration. You also mention your passion for connecting with people and your track record of meeting targets under pressure, which can demonstrate your ability to excel in a business analyst role.

However, your answer could be improved by providing more specific examples of how you have successfully gathered requirements from stakeholders in the past. You could also mention any tools or techniques you have used in the requirements gathering process, as well as any challenges you have faced and how you overcame them.

Overall, your answer is good but could benefit from more specific examples and details to make it more compelling and demonstrate your expertise in requirements gathering. I would rate your answer a 3.5/5.
