Summary:

The term “elicitation” means to bring out or expose. The requirements of a project are often hidden and must be elicited so that they can be understood, analyzed, and validated by all stakeholders.

To act as a Business Analyst, the professional must be able to “dance with the stakeholders”, adjusting the rhythm based on the context and considering cultural, behavioral, and psychological factors.

This practical workshop applies concepts throw case studies that allow the student to apply the techniques during the course, thus increasing assimilation and memorization.
