Elicitation is more than asking:
“What Is Your Problem & What Can I Do For You?”
Stakeholders need help to understand their needs. This help comes in the form of elicitation techniques, elicitation concepts that support success, supporting critical success factors (CSF’s), and understanding the road blocks to the process.
This webinar will cover the elicitation techniques from the BABOK, including the advantages and disadvantages of each, concepts that support success, CSF’s, and road blocks.

It is well known that project estimating based on parametric models has reached a sophistication where realistic estimates, schedules and predictable outcomes are indeed possible given a set of software and systems requirements.
However, increasingly with the fast pace of Agile and other development methods is the requirement for estimates much earlier in the life cycle.
What happens when project estimating moves back a full phase – before requirements, and acquisition managers, contractors, auditors and financial analysts are forced to develop and analyze estimates based on unknown requirements?
Presented by industry expert Carol Dekkers, this presentation examines how to identify and document assumptions, create a logical and traceable project map including locations of potential “landmines” (calculated risks) that accompany this preliminary estimating.
Experienced estimating professionals and contract managers will find a basis for common ground in this presentation – as the advice presented will create the basis for dialog and discussion of early estimates.
Presenter: Carol Dekkers (LinkedIn profile@CarolDekkers) is a PMP, CMC, and a P.Eng., from Canada who bridges the gap between technology experts and the non-technical world. She is a highly sought after international expert whose keynote presentations are engaged by international project management and quality conferences throughout the world. Her specialty is demonstrating how to use communication effectively to bring the true value of technology to life through articulate presentations, effective collaboration, and team processes that increase the success of high tech projects.

Our readers are of many diverse backgrounds and faiths and I wanted to find a way to best express my thanks and best wishes.
The lyrics of this song express my thoughts and my prayers to all of you so much better than I can express.
I’m looking out my window at the softly falling snow
that dances in the early morning light
I got my guitar right before me, strummin’ a beautiful sound
watching it a-comin’ down, all around
on the fields and the farms and the road to town
And I’m thinkin’ up a letter that I’m writin’ in my head
a Christmas card to all the folks I love
Instead of lettin’ the postman bring it, I decided I’d rather sing it
especially for you, for you
To you and all your family, your neighbors and your friends
May all your days be happy with a joy that never ends
May peace and love surround you
at Christmas time and all the whole year through
May your life be filled with sunshine, may your every wish come true
May you find the sweet fulfillment in everything you do
May your days be blessed with the very very best
both now and the whole year through
it says so in my Christmas card to …
You and all your family, your neighbors and your friends
May all your days be happy with a joy that never ends
May peace and love surround you
at Christmas time and all the whole year through
at Christmas time and all the whole year through
