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

ON-DEMAND WEBINARFebruary 7th, 2023In 2022, Web3 frequently dominated the headlines for all the wrong reasons. Leaving aside the travails of centrally controlled entities, hardly a day went by without some form of exploit that resulted in (sometimes considerable) funds being exfiltrated from protocols and services running on public blockchains. Fundamental Web3 design and governance issues also had unwanted side effects. This matters, even if Web3 or decentralized finance (DeFi) as such aren't on your agenda for 2023: Any enterprise engaged in, or planning, NFT-related activities may end up suffering the consequences of basic security deficiencies.Key takeaways:Hear about the most serious security breaches of 2022 and what caused them.Learn what you can do to prevent such incidents, or at least mitigate the consequences.Understand why Web3 won’t succeed unless there's a step change in how process designers and developers approach security.
