Requirements elicitation is the process of seeking, uncovering, acquiring, and elaborating requirements for business systems. It is generally understood that requirements are elicited rather than just captured or collected.

There are discovery, emergence, and development elements to the elicitation process. Requirements elicitation consists of a variety of techniques, approaches, and tools.

This webinar shares 10 steps to effective requirements elicitation, guiding business analysts to deliver successful results.

Requirements elicitation is all about learning and understanding the needs of users and project sponsors with the ultimate aim of communicating these needs to the system developers.

Learning objectives include:

• Understand the application domain
• Identify the sources of requirements and analyze the stakeholders
• Select the techniques, approaches, and tools to use
• Prepare to use the selected elicitation techniques
• Document your approach and create a “strawman” to generate the right conversation
• Send input material to participants in advance with clearly defined objectives for the specific elicitation events
• Elicit the requirements from stakeholders and other sources
• Assign a scribe for note taking and use a whiteboard or a smart screen to document the requirements
• Use a standardized requirements document template
• Continue to re-validate the requirements until they are clear and can be acted upon by those who read them – business stakeholders AND implementers
