- [Instructor] Now that you've completed the course, your next steps are to practice planning and conducting interviews with stakeholders. First, grab an index card and review the sample interview questions file. Write down your favorite questions that resonate with projects and your typical stakeholders. Also, write down any other questions that you like to use. Keep this index card handy when you go to your interviews and do your interview planning. It may also help to think about some of your recent interviews with stakeholders, and reflect on what things you've learned in the course that will help make your next interviews even better. Could researching the interviewee help build better rapport? How about planning the goal and your high impact questions for that goal in advance? When conducting the interview are you focusing on the relationship and active listening? Would you like to try some new frameworks for note taking? And last but not least, can your follow up be more strategic? Interviewing as part of requirements solicitation is just one of many techniques to discover requirements with your stakeholders. I hope you've found this course useful, and you're eager to practice and learn even more techniques to illicit requirements. Your role in maximizing value and ensuring the right solution is created for the stakeholder is critical to the organization's success.
