Description

With the rise of adopting Agile, business analysts (BAs) have had to prove their worth in a developer-centric environment, where they are seen as a nonessential. BAs need to navigate the waters between Waterfall, Agile, and the popular mix of both methodologies in order to stay effective, valuable, and away from order-taker territory.

In this webinar, Margo Visitacion and Alissa Anderson discuss the research findings from interviewing more than 10 business analysts and industry consultants for a research report entitled "The Business Analyst And The Middle Path." They discuss how the disruption of Agile can be used to the BA's advantage and what skill sets and tactics BAs can utilize to achieve the perfect balance in a changing world.

Agenda:

  • The Current Environment Of The Business Analyst
  • Agile: A Major Disruptor In The Software World
  • Why Business Analysis Is An Essential Function
  • The Bright Side Of Agile For Business Analysts
  • The Ideal BA Role And What That Looks Like For You
  • Recommendations: How You Can Navigate The Waters As A BA In Agile Teams
