Training like Cardinal Mazzarino


At training courses they talk 6 hours about listening, win-win, batna, zopa.
Then when you explain to them the real cases... in 3 minutes they switch straight to old Cardinal Mazarin tactics.
Tactics of which I am ALMOST already an expert ...

Crash course - 2

Why ? The more I think about it, the more "why" is the word when it comes to requirements gathering. The question "Why ?" has two different meanings: THE PAST : you ask questions to understand the cause, what has happened in the past. THE FUTURE : we ask questions to understand what the user will need in the future, what he wants to do.

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!
