The BA should ask all attendees for their input, ensuring that each stakeholder is given time to speak and provide their opinion in the next workshop. This will help to encourage participation and engagement from all stakeholders, especially those who did not speak up during previous discussions. It will also help to elicit diverse perspectives and feedback on the requirements from different stakeholders.The BA should use facilitation skills such as active listening, questioning, paraphrasing, summarizing, etc., to create a positive and collaborative environment for stakeholder interaction4.Reference:4: BABOK Guide v3, Section 4.4
