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 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.

With COVID and social movements including the Great Resignation and Quiet Quitting, we are experiencing unprecedented numbers of employees leaving the workforce, either physically or mentally, in order to avoid high stress and burnout and bring a better sense of balance to their lives.

All this, while the ongoing number of projects and change organizations are taking on to remain competitive and satisfy their customers continues to rise. To maintain and grow their customer base, organizations seek out, listen to and leverage their customers to influence decisions.

Interestingly enough, for their own employees, the lifeblood of their business, many organizations don’t offer this same level of priority and service especially when it comes to executing projects and driving change.

Organizations need to treat and lead valued employees more like their customers. They need to start leading with human centricity.

Learning Outcomes:

1. Define human centricity and its value
2. Differentiate a human-centric approach from a traditional project and change management approach
3. Articulate key elements of a human centric approach
4. Demonstrate strategies and actions that accelerate human centric project and change management

To facilitate a meeting is to lead a group of people through a predefined agenda with clearly stated and understood goals in such a way that every attendee understands their role, adheres to the Rules of Engagement and participates according to their responsibilities within that meeting’s architecture.

Learning how to do so in spite of those attending the meeting is one of the greatest challenges any businessperson faces. Based on the final chapter of her book Everything’s a Project (and Everyone’s a Project Manager): Book Three: Communicating, Christine Rose (LinkedIn profile) shares that when you understand your role and your responsibility, you will own any meeting you lead.
