It is definitely worth doing an interface analysis - but it should be managed strictly in the context of user personas and product goals. If changes to a particular UI will drive increased usage (or increased effectiveness), they may be worth doing. If that usage is aligned with the corporate goals for the product, the changes should be considered. If, on the other hand, the UI changes do not support the goals of the product, they should not be considered (or maybe you're missing a goal). You have to use goals / vision / scope to manage what you are willing to do. Hey Yogesh, thanks for commenting!

Is Interface analysis worth considering while gathering requirements ? If yes how to gather requirment not getting distracted.

I did omit in my post to indicate which type of environment will lead to the most likely type of requirements. You've not only done that, but added tips for gathering reqs in each of these. Great job. Great post Scott.
