ABOUT THE WEBINAR

In this webinar we will discuss the aspect of defining and understanding the stories about the business and organization.

• What is different about defining stories as opposed to defining requirements?
• What are the benefits of collecting stories instead of information?
• Is everything a story?
• What if I don’t have a really good imagination and I can’t tell a story?
• Do I need to take creative writing classes?

In this webinar we will present the steps for defining information in context (the difference between elicitation and engagement), facilitating the users and customers in telling you stories, and weaving together the information you gather as a business analyst into understandable and compelling stories. This is the first part of a two part webinar series on storytelling.

** Eligible for PDUs, CDUs. **
