On June 15, 2023, a PMI Webinar was conducted where Lynda Carter (LinkedIn profile) and David Davis, PMP PgMP (LinkedIn profile) discussed “Empathy when Eliciting User Knowledge” (original webinar 1 PDU).   The discussion / interaction was tremendous and there were more comments and questions than the leaders could answer.

Well, they listened to you and have now prepared a second webinar to answer most of those questions and continue the dialog.

Extracting knowledge from various workers is a key competency required for the current project professional.

Whether it involves product requirements, user acceptance criteria, creating the definition of done, determining value of stories in a backlog, or obtaining executive critical success factors, the project professional delivers many artifacts that depend on input from various knowledge workers scattered throughout the organization.

This session will focus on the approach the project professional must take to have effective elicitation sessions.

You must approach it from the knowledge worker perspective and be able to establish an environment of trust and psychological safety.

  1. They will discuss the importance of humility and that you are eliciting information.
  2. They will discuss the importance of seeing that environment to facilitate active listening and interactive engagement.
  3. They will take a holistic approach to the elicitation including setting expectations, eliciting information, and providing feedback.
  4. Finally, we will explore the impact that cultural intelligence is a factor in the overall elicitation and feedback.

Learning Objectives:

  1. The importance of utilizing several components of human relationships including humility, empathy, respect, and gratitude.
  2. Articulate the entire cycle of eliciting information from initial contact to knowledge exchange engagement, to paraphrase understanding, to follow-up.
  3. Use Cultural Intelligence techniques to understand how knowledge extraction techniques must align with the culture of the knowledge workers.

When organizations begin experimenting with generative AI, they often neglect its transformative potential and the operationalization challenges that come with it, resulting in only incremental improvements.

Due to the broad and emerging nature of the technology, IT leaders struggle to identify and prioritize impactful generative AI use cases.

The success of generative AI pilots requires rapid testing, refinement, and, often, the elimination of use cases that do not have the anticipated impact on business value.

Join this IT webinar as a panel of Gartner experts will guide you on how to pilot generative AI and start delivering business value by following a 5 step process.

Discussion Topics:

  • Understand how generative AI allows for faster development cycles than traditional AI projects
  • Explore how a lean cycle of innovation could add strategic value
  • Mitigate the potential risks that come with generative AI

When writing Acceptance Tests, we respond to requirements and essentially turn them into scenarios that can be specified, tested, and then implemented. However, sometimes requirements are stated in a way that make the scenarios too large for effective testing and development.

In this webinar Scott Bain (LinkedIn profile) will investigate why this is, suggest techniques that can be used to decompose them into smaller scenarios, and demonstrate this using a real-world example of a complex business rule.

While AI is changing the way software development is done, the core demand of delivering quality software at speed has remained constant.

AI is helping in reducing the development cycle, as well as adding time pressure to quality cycles in order to meet the timelines of shortened release cycles.

And if you add the compliance factor to this, it adds a complication that is important and yet can also become a bottleneck for speed.

This is unfortunately the case for many industries. One example is Fintech, which is at the forefront of the tech revolution and building digital platforms that are changing the ways consumers do their various financial transactions. The ‘Need for Speed’ is of prime importance here.

In this web seminar, Samandeep (Sam) Panwar , (LinkedIn profile) a senior QA professional, and champion of software quality at Holiday Inn Club Vacations  will explore the role of AI in software testing and how it will improve the software quality cycles and help meet the need for speed.
