Abstract
This paper describes an effective way of personnel training in workshops effectively for acquiring the business modeling skill. The business modeling skill is intimately related with thought, and it is hard to obtain practical skills for it through classroom lectures. Also, when both user firms and subcontractors enhance skills, a real advantage will be recognized. Reported is the status of the personnel training through workshops at the software development sites based on actual experiences. The author sponsored workshops on the development methodology for one and a half year starting in April 2009. Based on the results from that one year, the key points include the facilitator's skills, the lineup of members, and communication management. In this paper, based on the findings from the workshops, we look at the members, role of each member and schedule specifically to summarize key points for holding more effective workshops.
