Gather data requirements in 30 minutes using a shared language
Shane Gibson
Creator of Information Product Canvas
How many times have you heard this....
“Thats not what I wanted”
“But thats what you asked for!”
If this sounds familiar, then chances are your struggling with some of the following:
🚩 Your stakeholders and your data team seem to be speaking VERY different languages
🚩 Gathering data requirements takes too long
🚩 The process of gathering data requirements is not fun for you or your stakeholders
🚩 Your stakeholders needs and your data requirements are full of ambiguity (no matter how hard you try)
🚩 Your data team cannot work out what to build from the data requirements you capture
🚩 Your data requirements are full of the what, but not the why
🚩 You capture screeds of detailed data requirements that are never used
In my 1 x 5-hour masterclass workshop, you will learn learn how to solve these problems by using the Information Product Canvas pattern to gather data requirements in 30 minutes or less, using a shared language.
✨ Become the data universal translator in your organisation
✨ Capture needs clearly and quickly with a proven template
✨ Get fast stakeholder feedback while you are in the room
✨ Give the team enough to build, without noise and distraction
✨ Build trust by linking requirements to real actions and actions

What you’ll get from this course
Help prioritise what's important - in a way that stakeholders can understand and evaluate at a glance
Create data requirements stakeholders can understand at a glance and use to compare the different investment options, before they prioritise them.
Stronger, transparent evaluation criteria = data-based prioritisation decisions.
Capture both the what and the why
Learn how to elicit and capture the actions and outcomes the stakeholders want to achieve with the data they are requesting.
Move from being a data "order taker" to becoming a trusted
Learn a pattern you can teach the rest of your data team, so they can do the data work with you.
Don’t continue to be the bottleneck in the process, or continuously working months in advance of your team so you aren’t. Working together to solve problems is so much more fun!
Feel the rush of delivering value often and early.
Learn a great way to gather data requirements by defining them in small chunks, then delivering the Information Products to your consumers as you go. Rinse and repeat!
No more putting in the hard effort upfront and never getting to see the results.
