Valuable people, time and dollar resources are wasted when meeting objectives and expectations are not clear, agendas are not followed, no one or too many people try to take charge of project meetings. Successful meetings that product results don’t just happen, they are planned, prepared for and orchestrated.

Seven Ways to Build Trust

Share

Live Webinar May 22nd, 2014 – 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm EDT
Duration: 1 hour webinar Credits: 1 PDU Category A – Free PDU
Sponsored by: PMI Requirements Management CoP (REP #S055)

One of the most difficult phases of the 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 business stakeholders and the project team have a relationship built on trust, however, they can more quickly work together to build a solution to meet the business need.

Specifically this presentation describes:

  • The barriers to building trust when eliciting requirements
  • Common elicitation pitfalls that often bust trust
  • Collaborative elicitation planning
  • The role of consultative questioning
  • Facilitating techniques that build trust
  • How effective scribes build trust and help ensure complete requirements

Attendees will be able to:

  • Discuss the nature of trust and why it’s key to successful requirements elicitation
  • List at least 5 barriers to effective requirements elicitation related to trust
  • Describe seven ways to build and maintain trust to ensure successful requirements elicitation
