In this podcast Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, spoke to Kent McDonald and Heather Mylan-Mains on their talk at Agile 2017 about Socratic Questioning

Why listen to this podcast:

- Socratic questioning n approach to learning which is based on getting to answers through a question-based dialogue

- Frequently what is presented at the beginning of a product investigation is a proposed solution rather than exploring the real need

- There are six categories of questions to expose assumptions, change perspectives and delve into an issue or opportunity

- There are other techniques which are needed when there is uncertainty about the existence of a problem or opportunity

- This approach is not just restricted to elicitation – it can be used very effectively in a team situation when exploring options and identifying challenges
