Workshop Facilitation Skills using JAD

Course duration: 2 days

About the Course                                                                                       

Workshop facilitation is an essential business analysis skill. Joint Application Development (JAD) provides a structured set of information gathering and consensus building techniques that can be applied in an interactive workshop setting. In a workshop using JAD techniques the project team, system users and management work together to identify, define and agree on requirements under the guidance of a facilitator.

The correct use of JAD techniques will reduce the time taken to gather and define requirements while improving the quality of the analysis.

The success of a JAD-based workshop depends on the skill of the facilitator. This course will give you a thorough understanding of JAD techniques and an opportunity to actively develop your workshop facilitation skills.
