What problem does it solve? Business analysts often collect stakeholder information without structure, leading to unconfirmed findings, biased interview questions, and requirements that reflect the sponsor's view rather than real user needs. This Skill operationalizes the BABOK v3 Elicitation & Collaboration knowledge area so elicitation results are planned, executed, and confirmed before feeding requirements work. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Technique Selection Guidance: Compares seven BABOK elicitation techniques (interviews, JAD workshops, shadowing, document analysis, surveys, focus groups, brainstorming) with when-to-use criteria, advantages, and limitations. - Execution Protocols: Provides step-by-step protocols for effective interview questions, JAD workshop phases, and shadowing observation, including questions to avoid that bias responses. - Mandatory Confirmation Workflow: Defines confirmation methods and deadlines per technique so findings are validated with stakeholders before propagating into requirements. - Use Case: A business analyst starting discovery on a call center system uses this Skill to plan interviews with supervisors, shadow agents, run a JAD workshop to resolve conflicts, and produce a confirmed elicitation notes document with articulated needs and identified gaps. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to plan and run a BABOK elicitation cycle for your project, producing a confirmed elicitation notes document with stakeholder needs and gaps.
