Hey I find out some informations about interviews etc.

  1. An interview is "a formal face-to-face meeting, especially, one arranged for the assessment of the qualifications of an applicant, as for employment or admission.... A conversation, as one conducted by a reporter, in which facts, or statements are elicited from another." (The American Heritage Dictionary, Second College Edition)
    The interview is the primary technique for information gathering during the systems analysis phases of a development project. It is a skill which must be mastered by every analyst. The interviewing skills of the analyst determine what information is gathered, and the quality and depth of that information. Interviewing, observation, and research are the primary tools of the analyst.
    The interview is a specific form of meeting or conference, and is usually limited to two persons, the interviewer and the interviewee. In special circumstances there may be more than one interviewer or more than one interviewee in attendance. In these cases there should still be one primary interviewer and one primary interviewee.
    What Are the Goals of the Interview?
    At each level, each phase, and with each interviewee, an interview may be conducted to:
    1.Gather information on the company
    2.Gather information on the function
    3.Gather information on processes or activities
    4.Uncover problems
    5.Conduct a needs determination
    6.Verification of previously gathered facts
    7.Gather opinions or viewpoints
    8.Provide information
    9.Obtain leads for further interviews
    Focus Groups – These are used to obtain different reactions to one topic. Focus groups generate synergy provided the participants are at the same technical or organizational level.
