One of the Most Difficult Phases of a Project is
Eliciting Requirements From Stakeholders

Under the best circumstances requirements are often vague, conflicting, and in flux. Even when key stakeholders are involved in the requirements process, they are not always fully engaged.

Personal agendas, fear of change, and comfort with the way things have always been done can create a climate of apathy and mistrust, all of which make identifying the true needs difficult.

When the business customers and project team have a relationship built on trust, however, they can more quickly work together to build a solution to meet the business need.

This lively presentation focuses on the causes of mistrust and presents practical solutions for gaining and maintaining stakeholder trust.

Presenter: – Elizabeth Larson (LinkedIn profile) PMP, CBAP CEO of Watermark Learning, Elizabeth has over 25 years of experience in business analysis, project management, training, and consulting.

• Manage projects with simple KPIs
• Manage medium sized projects with metrics
• Get metrics from Microsoft Project into SharePoint
• Manage across a portfolio of projects with metrics
• Add periodic status reports and personal reports
