Agile methodology is adopted by most of the corporate industries in the current scenario. Agile is widely preferred for its ability to adapt to frequently changing requirements where prioritization of requirements plays a major role. Existing methods to prioritize requirements such as MoSCoW, Business value, Validated learning and Walking skeleton are not able to address the problem of stakeholder conflict. In order to overcome this problem, we have proposed an idea to use Apriori algorithm to find the most frequently asked requirements which in turn helps in reducing the stakeholder conflict. Apriori algorithm has two functions, join and prune that are performed continuously to find the frequent items and is designed to operate on database containing transactions. This paper addresses how the requirements are prioritized effectively using Apriori algorithm. © 2017 Elsevier Ltd
