Study Notes
Elicitation Process Overview
- Elicitation involves drawing forth information from stakeholders and other sources to understand requirements.
- The process is ongoing and iterative, not limited to a single phase of business analysis.
Goals and Planning
- Clearly define the goals, agenda, and scope of change before beginning the elicitation process.
- Determine the desired output form and how the information will be used and represented.
- Identify the target audience for the information to ensure it meets their needs.
Stakeholder Engagement
- Engage stakeholders effectively to ensure their contributions and insights are captured.
- Communication should be bi-directional, using appropriate language, tone, and style that align with the stakeholders' preferences.
Conducting Elicitation
- Elicitation can occur in parallel or sequentially, depending on the project requirements and logistics.
- Utilize a scribe to document the information gathered, which can serve as a reference for later analysis, separate from the moderator.
Capturing Outputs
- Properly record elicitation outputs to ensure accuracy and consistency with existing information and requirements.
- The purpose is to identify and correct errors, omissions, and ambiguities before committing resources.
Confirming Elicitation Results
- Compare elicitation results against source information to validate the gathered data.
- Follow-up meetings may be necessary to resolve any discrepancies identified during comparisons.
Historical Data Comparison
- Elicitations results may also be compared with historical data to confirm their validity and reliability.
- This process helps ensure stakeholders have a shared understanding of the business analysis information.
Communication of Results
- Share finalized information packages with stakeholders at appropriate times, tailored to their informational needs.
- Include communications regarding requirements, designs, solutions, and evaluations of alternatives.
Understanding Elicitation Scope
- Establish the scope of the elicitation activity by considering business domains, culture, stakeholder locations, and expected outcomes.
- Identify necessary resources and logistics to support the elicitation activities, including supporting materials and collaboration requirements.
Techniques and Logistics
- Assess which techniques are most suitable for the intended elicitation outcomes.
- Plan both structured (workshops, experiments) and unplanned (just-in-time interviews) elicitation methods, ensuring unplanned activities are supported by planned ones.
