Introduction:
The crux of “getting it right” on any project is understanding and delivering what stakeholders need, even when that differs from what they ask for.

In organizations with project professionals who use well-developed elicitation skills, stakeholders have shared expectations and face fewer surprises, team members are more efficient when developing solutions, and project environments are more collaborative and productive.
