Business Analysis: Master Stakeholder Profiling in 6 Steps

Identify, plan, and negotiate for the resources you need on your next project

Learn how to more effectively identify, negotiate for, and engage the necessary stakeholder resources for your next project through the power of stakeholder profiling.

The Stakeholder Profiling technique works well in any development environment such as agile, iterative, or waterfall, and can be leveraged at any stage of the development life cycle. While ideally used from the project start, this technique is great for projects that are already in motion since it is never too late to engage the right stakeholders.

This course is designed for those seeking to improve their ability to:

Identify and gain access to the right stakeholders.
Avoid missed requirements due to overlooked stakeholders.
Eliminate wasted time in 'all-team' meetings.
Increase stakeholder buy-in and commitment to the requirements.
By the end of the course, you will be able to:

Successfully identify the stakeholders that you need.
Apply a script to conduct stakeholder interviews.
Plan requirements development activities to align with resource availability.
Estimate how much time you will need with each stakeholder.
Overcome challenges with stakeholders who are bottlenecks, unavailable, inexperienced, or simply uncooperative during your next project.

New business analyst that wants to expand on their skills for successfully engaging with stakeholders.
Experienced business analyst looking to sharpen their ability to plan and estimate stakeholder involvement in requirement activities.
