Leadership & Professional Development
Eliciting Requirements
1 Day(s) | $795
“Getting it right” on any project is the ability to give
stakeholders what they need, not necessarily what they
ask for. Solid elicitation skills are the means of identifying
real needs versus the stated needs and can make or
break a project’s success. In organizations with project
professionals who use good eliciting skills to gather
requirements, stakeholders have shared expectations and
face fewer surprises, team members are more efficient in
developing solutions, and project environments are more
collaborative and productive. Note: This course has been
approved by PMI for 7 PDUs and by IIBA for 7 CDUs.
Influence without Authority
1 Day(s) | $795
Collaborative environments largely rely on influence, not

effective influencers enjoy better collaboration among
stakeholders, improved trust among team members,
and improved ability to move the organization forward to
achieve business goals.

An effective facilitator helps a group accomplish a

skills is rewarded with increased leadership capabilities,
more effective time management in meetings and other
group settings, and improved likelihood of achieving team
and business goals.
