Study CAPM Requirements Elicitation Methods: key concepts, common traps, and exam decision cues.
This chapter focuses on choosing the right discovery method instead of memorizing a list of technique names. CAPM usually tests whether you can match the elicitation method to the situation: depth versus scale, observation versus discussion, and structured alignment versus individual insight.
The exam usually does not reward a generic statement such as “do interviews” or “run a workshop.” It rewards whether you can recognize what information is actually missing, what kind of evidence will reveal it, and which method is strongest for that specific discovery problem. That means choosing elicitation techniques by fit, not habit.
Use these sections in order. Start with the core method families, then move into focus groups and discovery choices, and finish by matching elicitation techniques to scenario cues.
