- Book 3 of 7: Business Analysis Fundamentals - Simply Put!
Requirement elicitation is the first step in gathering user requirements; it is the process of understanding and acquiring the business needs of all involved stakeholders. The importance of requirements elicitation cannot be overstated. The requirements you elicit and gather are the foundation for the remainder of ALL of the work on the project.
This book is a continuation of our Requirements Elicitation series. The previously published “Requirements Elicitation Interviews and Workshops – Simply Put” deals with soft skills needed to elicit requirements. This book, “Requirements Elicitation Techniques – Simply Put”, is all about specific techniques designed to improve the outcomes of your elicitation interviews and workshops.
The presented techniques will help practicing business analysts, future business analysts, subject matter experts, managers, product owners, project managers, and anyone responsible for getting the right requirements from the right people.
Many people elicit requirements in an organization under the guise of ‘business analysis’ although it is not in their job description. Whether you are the CEO, COO, Director, Manager, or on the front lines, you may be involved in defining how technology can benefit you and your organization. When you are in that awesome role, you are at that time “the one wearing the Business Analysis (BA) hat”.
So what are you going to learn? This book presents the nuts and bolts of “requirements elicitation” which will help you:
- Identify potential stakeholders early in the project
- Manage the requirements elicitation process with a Question File
- Recognize, track, and report progress toward requirements completion
- Define, document, and analyze business problems to ferret out hidden requirements
- Facilitate effective requirements brainstorming sessions to uncover additional requirements
- Use 10 critical questions to initiate the requirements elicitation process
- Capture and communicate assumptions about your requirements
- Avoid “analysis paralysis” by recognizing when it is time to stop eliciting and start deciding

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
