Crash course - 2

Questiologie for complex requirements - Frédéric Falisse

I just watched this TedX video of Frédéric Falisse explaining his Questiolgie and found it very interesting. The video is in french but it has English captions. I think it could be greatly useful while gathering elaborate or difficult requirements. As far as I understand it, he proposes four tips for asking good questions 1. Change of mental posture  If the interviewed is already an actor , remove him from the action and ask for a feeling . Do not ask "why do you get stuck" but "what do you feel when you feel stuck ? If instead he starts with an emotion, ask about an action. 2. Double the verb Like in the phrase "What are you afraid of when you are afraid of losing control?" 3. Reconcile Use right and left hands  "When you fail a test ... Makes you lose control over future choices" 4. Project in the future i.e. What will happen if you fail the test? Here's his main site  https://www.questiologie.fr/ Have a great day!
