Describe FAST for eliciting requirements. FAST is short form for Facilitated Application Specification Technique. They are a collection of workshops that are held for identifying requirements. They unlike JAD are expanded and include planning, problem-solving, re-engineering etc. For each workshop an agenda is set.

The joint team of customer and developers then arrive at a set of requirements. Following are the guidelines:
a) Meeting should be arranged at a neutral site b) Establish a protocol for meeting c) Prepare a casual agenda and encourage ideas d) Have a appointed facilitator e) Use charts, boards etc f) No criticism or arguments. g) A list of objects is collected that are part of the environment around the system to be built, produced by the system, or consumed by the system.
