Product Design in an Agile Development Environment: A Guide for Product Managers
Presented by John Parker, CVO of Enfocus Solutions Inc.

Agile development is here to stay. It has definitely been proven to deliver higher quality products and shorter cycle times. However, it is not perfect.

All too often, teams have long and frustrating Sprint planning sessions because backlog items are poorly defined and not well understood. This results in slow velocity as well as poor design because details are still being worked out during the Sprint. The end result is waste and rework because backlog items were not adequately validated.

Being a BA - Technical Webinar Series: Modeling Business Processes 
Presented by Tom Karasmanis, IIBA   @t0mkar   +Tom Karasmanis 
 
Before we model a system using various system modeling techniques it is a good idea to model the business context surrounding the target system. Sometimes we want to model a business process on its own in order to better understand it and/or improve it. Business modeling is an important technique to help us accomplish the above activities. We model a business in much the same way we model a system, but there are some distinct and important differences between these two techniques.
