Elicitation in Action by Christonikos Zonafos
Elicitation in Action helps Business Analysts move beyond basic interviews and develop elicitation skills that uncover what people really mean, not just what they first express.
It focuses on the practical techniques that turn conversations, workshops, documents, and observations into reliable understanding.
Inside, you'll learn how to:
- Prepare discovery with purpose and direction
- Ask questions that reveal assumptions and hidden constraints
- Use artefacts, data, and system behaviour to validate what you hear
- Navigate conflicting information with calm and structure
- Run interviews, observations, and reviews that stay focused and productive
- Turn raw information into clear, dependable insight
