Requirement gathering in Scrum

Scrum framework is deliberately light in defining this as there are many existing practices is requirement gathering that work well. Scrum does not want to impose any one style and allow the organisation to choose what is best for them. 

Product Owner should

- Talk to his/her users and get high level business requirements. 
- Order them so they give value to the organisation and meet the scope of the project (or change the scope if not originally correct)
