There can sometimes be a disconnect here between agile and traditional approaches, but it can be avoided. Agile projects recognize that it is unlikely to be possible to gather all the requirements accurately up front. Instead it is more likely that the true requirements will evolve over the course of the project as functionality is built and evaluated by the business. So, while it is appropriate to gather requirements early in the project, do not assume that this will be the end of the process, perhaps 50-70% of the requirements can be determined up front, the remainder will evolve and be uncovered throughout the project.
