CANCELLED: Unfortunately,  our speaker is unavailable. IIBA Phoenix has kindly suggested their professional development meeting. "Complementary Roles; Project Managers & Business Analysts. April 11, 2023 at 5:30 PM Pacific. For that meeting please register at: https://phoenix.iiba.org/event/professional-development-meeting-complementary-roles-project-managers-business-analysts

Please join us for a great presentation via Zoom with Deena Chadwick, author, speaker, and trainer from the Commonsensical BA. This presentation focuses on the 2nd BABoK Knowledge area: Elicitation and Collaboration. Specifically sections 4.1 to 4.3 Preparing, Conducting, and Confirmation Elicitation. 

Requirements elicitation is not simply gathering requirements. Requirements are not just laying around waiting for you to pick them up and write them out. Many times the users or clients themselves are not sure of what they want. All too often the most obvious requirements are wrong or incomplete. Requirements elicitation is all about learning & understanding the need by seeking, uncovering, acquiring, and elaborating. 

CommonSense tells us if we want to elicit the requirements like the best of them, we need to learn from 3 types of experts at asking questions and getting answers: FBI Agents, Mothers of Teenagers, and Curious 2-Year Olds.
