Mastering the Requirements Elicitation
Live Instructor-Led Classroom Training

This 3-day workshop is meant to develop interviewing and facilitation skills for requirements gathering, problem solving, process design, or similar activities related to business or system development. The workshop deals specifically with the people aspect of information gathering. There are particular challenges when the required information is distributed among the minds and behaviors of a number of people. This workshop provides some tools, techniques and practices to enable a facilitator to improve the information gathering process, and greatly increase the probability of complete and accurate information in the shortest possible time.

This workshop has a significant "hands-on" component using case studies involving real-life situations. Assignments often use role playing to demonstrate problems and solutions.
