First ask
- blyad January 25, 2013"Let me ask you about this elevator we are designing"
"Who will use it? Children at a school? Cleaners at a hotel? Fans at a stadium?"
"What will they use it for? Deliver? Faster access over stairs?"
"Where is the elevator being installed? 2 story building? 50 story skyscraper?"
Basically you will probably find out this is an elevator on a bus for disabled folk that will take 1 guy in a wheel chair and bring him onto the bus. Then just list the use cases, try to structure them a bit into functional/negative/load/stress/boundary etc
