Requirements Elicitation (BA26)

View all courses

Strong elicitation skills are a ‘must have’ for anyone charged with defining requirements for their project. Success is dependent on a mixture of technical skills (i.e. knowing which technique to use and how to use it) and interpersonal skills (i.e. building relationships, listening...and gaining consensus). Whether the plan to meet with stakeholders in one-on-one sessions, in a requirements workshop (or remotely), participants will need to know how to select and implement techniques to accurately and efficiently identify the needs of your business.

In this 2-day highly interactive course participants will learn how to enhance and refine elicitation skills. Industry best practices are explained and then augmented with professional tips and methods. Working in small groups, students will practice new techniques and discuss strategies that your organization should be using to better define stakeholder needs. A case study driven workshop comprises more than half the course and provides a real-world example, templates and job aids to reference once learners are back on the job. If you are struggling with missing requirements, lack of stakeholder involvement, out of control scope, certainly consider this workshop! Note: general knowledge of the requirements process is recommended. The BA01 Business Analysis Essentials course would provide this information. Course highlights include:
