Systems Thinking: A Crucial
BA Skill in an Uncertain World
Presented by Adrian Reed, Director and Principal
Consultant at Blackmetric Business Solutions
It has often been said that we live in an increasingly
volatile, complex and ambiguous world. The external business
environment is complex and fast-moving, yet often our stakeholders are
blindsided by ‘silver-bullet’ solutions that assume a neat linear relationship
between cause and effect.
In reality, things are rarely neat and linear. More often we’ll find that situations are devilishly difficult, requiring us to understand and engage with a whole range of messy interconnected issues and perspectives.
In this practical presentation, Adrian Reed discusses the importance of systems thinking in business analysis. During the presentation you will hear:

Presented by Garry
McGouldrick, Senior Vice President of Professional Services at IAG Constulting
Attend this free
one-hour webinar with Andrew Hayward and Garry McGouldrick for a frank
discussion about what Agile demands from a Business Analyst, how they can
succeed, and how they can ensure their team succeeds.
There are a lot of
misconceptions about Business Analysis in an Agile environment, and sometimes
Business Analysts find it hard to adapt to the short iterations, just-in-time
planning, and minimalist documentation and modeling that characterizes Agile
development. This webinar will dispel some common myths about Agile, including
the belief that Business Analysts aren’t welcome in Agile and explain why every
development team needs excellent business analysis to be successful.

Data Modeling Best Practices
for BA's and PM's
Presented by Ross Little, Executive Managing Partner
at IAG Consulting
In this two-hour webinar participants will learn the
essential concepts of data modeling required of today's Business Analyst and
Project Manager. Effective requirements definition requires a fundamental
understanding of data modeling. This webinar lays a foundation of the essential
aspects of defining the data model and requirements for a project. IAG, the
developer of this program, believes very strongly in this key Business Analysis
competency. Every Project Manager and BA involved in requirements definition
and modeling needs to know these critical concepts. Without a solid basis of
data modeling skills, there is a significant risk that quality and value of
use-case, business requirement, and business rule documentation will be
significantly compromised. This two-hour webinar is a perfect course that will
give most PMs and BA's everything they need to mitigate this risk and be
successful in their roles.
For someone involved or responsible for the business
requirements, business architecture or business analysis on a software
development project, there are large number of questions to be answered.
·
Do I need to be an expert in data modeling? (No, by the way)
·
How detailed do I need to define the data,
·
Why do I need a data model - especially if we're working on
an existing system?
·
Do I need to produce a logical data model?
·
Do I need to know normalization theory (I hope not)?
·
What do we do about data if we're 'Agile'?
·
What about modeling or data definitions for a Business
Intelligence project?
·
When and how do I gather data requirements with the SME's?
What's the best way?
Learning Objectives:
·
Understand the key concepts of conceptual and logical data
modeling
·
Learn the steps to building a data model
·
Write clear and concise and consistent data definitions
·
Apply acceptable modeling principles
·
Use/apply consistent naming standards

The Remote Employee
Presented by Michael Huber, Project Manager at Sprint
The remote employee – A new frontier of working that many
admire and as one we can take advantage of the many benefits such as
geographical freedoms and a work/life balance. This can provide numerous
opportunities for travel and personal and professional growth. I have learned
over the past six years that along with the many positives there can be a down
side being a remote employee. This comes in the form of disconnectedness and
isolation. These negative impacts of being a remote employee can appear over time
and can affect your career and personal life. This webinar is about
collaborating on ways to solve problems that remote employees experience with
isolation and losing connectivity with their teams and community. We will
discuss our own problems and work collectively to find solutions. This webinar
links to an article I wrote that was printed on 8/22 in PM TImes.
