        NOTE: Depending on the template used this could also include information such as level of engagement, planned approach for a stakeholder, their level of influence and if they have decision making authority
  - - - List things that are explicitly in-scope as soon as discussed
    - - List things that are explicitly out of scope as soon as they are discussed
    - - Have any dependence been identified already i.e. needs to be delivered in specific timeline due to code free
- - - - Identify technique to be used and prepate
        
        Define the goal of this activity
        
        Identify and list the stakeholders involved
        
        identify location

        Does this activity have any dependencies (input or output)
        
        NOTE: when organizing each elicitation activity you should always being it with a clearly defined goal for that activity. A RedMane example of this would be JAD where the goal is to capture change requirements for Case Management module
        NOTE: There is no right or wrong technique often the level of experience your confidence level in a technique should also be considered
        
        Preparparation:
        
        Book all relevant resource
        
        Invite stakeholders
        
        ALWAYS share an agenda ahead of time (note if you have a specific goal i.e identifying a current process for one off payments include this in the agenda so the client has time to prep)

        Documentation review
        
        Review of existing system
        
        Spikes (in development and testing)

        5 Whys to get to root cause**
        
        Business rule review
        
        Reading business processes

        When you would use it and why
        
        What techniques may provide synergies
        
        How you prepare
        
        Deliverable(s) that come out of this
        
        NOTE: these are then stored as per identified Information storage and governance approach
  - - - Utalizing levels of abstraction is a powerful took for getting stakeholder buyin.
