The BA’s friend or foe? How
to fit Requirements Engineering into Agility
Presented by Hans van Loenhoud, MSc Taraxacum
In the world of software development, requirements
engineering has been recognized as an important discipline for the past couple
of decades. Without proper requirements software development was bound to fail.
But is this still true in the current Age of Agility?
Requirements engineering was a natural fit in the waterfall
approach. It was an upfront activity in the first phase of
the project, the analysis phase. In this stage the overall business
requirements were elicited, documented and validated, and served as a contract
for the remainder of the project. During functional design these business
requirements were supplemented by user requirements and technical design added
the system requirements.
Modern software development often
follows agile approaches like Scrum and XP. The role of requirements
engineering is less obvious in these instances. Given that there are no
distinct phases, requirements engineering continues throughout the process and
may be part of every iteration. Agile approaches are not very keen on upfront
activities (‘Responding to change over Following a plan’) nor documentation
(‘Working software over Comprehensive documentation’). As a consequence,
developers tend to neglect requirements engineering in agile projects. They
seem to believe that requirements engineering is some old-school thing that
doesn’t fit into agility. Requirements are deemed to be the exclusive
responsibility of the Product Owner which the rest of the team takes for
granted. They often find out too late that this is a mistake.
In this webinar I will address four
common misunderstandings about requirements engineering and agility:
·
Upfront is Evil
·
User Stories are
Enough
·
Documentation is
Waste
·
Only Working
Software Counts

Move over Leadership
Competencies – Make Room for Agility
Presented by Lorraine Leahy, Trainer, Coach and
Consultant, Corporate Education Group
The debate continues as to what the next generation of
leaders will need to be successful. While competency models have become the
established standard we use to grow and gauge leadership capability, we must
also equip our leaders with the ability to successfully navigate a VUCA
(volatile, unpredictable, complex, and ambiguous) world. Current research
indicates that the more “competent” our leaders get, the more likely they are
to become fixated on what they’ve been good at in the past. As a result, even successful
leaders can lose sight of what they need to become good at next for continued
success. Like it or not, most of what worked for past generations does not work
in today’s business environment. We have an agility gap.
This webinar will cover:
·
The Three Levels of Leadership Agility
·
The Character Strengths of Agile Leaders – Why These
Strengths Make Us Better
·
The Four Super Skills of Agile Teams – How They Are
Revolutionizing the Workplace
·
Putting It All Together – Assessing Leadership Agility:
Developing Agility in Our Leaders and within Our Teams
