Inputs to the Elicitation knowledge area as defined in the Business Analysis Body of Knowledge (BABOK) Guide. These inputs are as follows:

1. Business Need: The business need provides the context for why elicitation is required in the first place. It helps to identify the objectives that the stakeholders want to achieve and how the proposed solution will address the problem.

2. Stakeholder Engagement Approach: The stakeholder engagement approach outlines the plan for how the stakeholders will be identified, engaged, and managed throughout the elicitation process. It is important to have a clear understanding of the stakeholders and their needs to ensure a successful elicitation.

3. Enterprise Architecture: The enterprise architecture provides a comprehensive view of the organization's business, information, and technology components. It helps to identify the stakeholders and their relationships, and to determine the impact of changes on the organization.

4. Business Analysis Plan: The business analysis plan outlines the approach, tasks, and deliverables for conducting the elicitation process. It provides a framework for how the elicitation activities will be executed and monitored.

5. Prior Elicitation Results: Prior elicitation results provide a reference for the current elicitation effort. It includes previous requirements, assumptions, constraints, and other elicitation artifacts that were collected from stakeholders in previous phases.

6. Organizational Process Assets: Organizational process assets refer to the internal organizational resources, policies, procedures, and templates that can be used to support the elicitation process. This includes guidelines for requirements management, templates for requirements documentation, and tools for requirements analysis.

By considering these inputs, a Business Analyst can plan and execute an effective elicitation process to collect and analyze the requirements needed for a successful solution.
