I love this project I'm working on right now. We're making real impact with clients who need more out of their data.   The insights market saturated with do-it-yourself, low-touch solutions providing quick-turn data. And the way I see it, there is a gap in this agile research space that solves quicker, simpler asks with recommendation-first, story-forward insights.   Short, quick asks are often just as strategic as the big complex ones. And that's why I'm so excited to be launching #MaterialSpotlight   Use it when you need quick guidance in high stakes settings, like: ✨ When you need data-backed guidance for an executive meeting next week ✨ When you need to prioritize direction and get buy in on the path forward, quickly ✨ When you need to contextualize unexpected customer reactions ✨ When you need inputs for a soon-to-launch release ✨ When you get your big report back and say, "damn, we should have asked XYZ questions too" ✨ When you need recurring testing loops over time that are not over-complicated and support your team working with agility   With only 4 working weeks left in the year, make your final 2024 insights land with impact. #AgileInsights #MRX #MarketResearch #FlashPoll #Impact Material https://lnkd.in/emwjwKWt

🕺 For Business Analysts, eliciting and prioritizing requirements on complex projects is no simple two-step. It's a delicate tango 💃 of gathering insights, getting stakeholders in sync, and making tough choices. 🔍 Elicitation Techniques: - Joint Application Development (JAD) Sessions: Bring stakeholders together for collaborative brainstorming and decision-making. - Prototyping: Visualize solutions and gather feedback early on. - Observation: Immerse yourself in the user's world to uncover hidden needs. 🏆 Prioritization Strategies: - MoSCoW Method: Separate the Must-Haves from the Could-Haves. - Weighted Scoring: Rank requirements based on predefined criteria. By mastering these techniques, you'll navigate the maze of complex requirements with ease, delivering solutions that truly resonate with stakeholders and drive business value. 🚀
