So
you’ve been assigned a complex, poorly defined project concept… now what?
Nothing
is worse (or better) for a senior project manager or analyst than being handed
a project that is: strategic, very large, and way outside your comfort
zone in complexity. These projects will sometimes roll around the halls
of big companies for months while they struggle to gain sufficient momentum and
clarity to really move forward with a sense of purpose and direction. Let’s say
one of these career-bruisers/-builders is yours? What do you do next?
This
session is about the tactics of early-stage project intake and clarification –
getting clarity efficiently.
Learning
Objectives:
1. Inside
the project intake process – why is intake so dysfunctional?
2. The
action plan – simple steps that drive project clarity and milestones that
deliver benefit.
3. Targeted
result – time tested deliverables that work

Agile Business Analysis
Presented by Andrea Brockmeier, PMP, CSM, BRMP
Intense business environments of today are driven by
uncertainty and the high speed of change. Two practices that help organizations
meet those challenges are business analysis and Agile. In fact, business
analysis has become a core competency for any organization that appreciates the
skills needed to align business and customer needs and expectations. In
addition, most organizations have gone far beyond asking whether they are going
to incorporate Agile into their methods for project delivery; rather, they are
well into their exploration of how to make Agile work for them.
Agile business analysis is the resulting sweet spot for today’s most marketable
project professional. This presentation explores how business analysis is used
in Agile environments and the value proposition that the Agile BA offers to organizations
competing in today’s hyper dynamic business environment.
This presentation will explore:
·
The business analysis core competencies organizations
need most
·
Where business analysis work is needed on agile
projects
·
How business analysis in agile organizations differs
from BA work in traditional environments
Attendees will be able to discuss:
·
How business analysis is used in Agile
organizations
·
Where BAs fit in on Agile projects
·
How BAs can provide value as organizations adopt Agile

Our Requirements Are Good,
So Why Aren’t We Delivering Value?
Presented by Joy Beatty, VP at Seilevel
Many people ask us how to measure whether or not they
have good requirements, but most of them have the question wrong. Researchers
propose methods to measure quality of requirements, but the end game isn’t
about requirements, or even the project deadline. The real target is the value
a project actually delivers to an organization. Things like increasing revenue
by a measurable amount or decreasing operational costs really are the bottom
line, and ultimately the measure of success. Fortunately, people typically do
what their performance is measured against, so rallying an entire organization
to measure true value increases the potential for that value to be delivered.
To really have a successful project, requirements engineering practices need to
start with understanding the desired value of the project. Then align
requirements efforts to elicit and specify only the requirements that will
deliver that value. Then they work with development and test organizations to
make sure the whole team maintains a razor sharp focus on delivering the
desired value.
In this talk, we’ll share our research findings that show what executives
really care about (and it isn’t reducing the number of missed requirements).
We’ll review our experiences with measuring value on actual projects. Finally,
we’ll outline the steps you can use to create this kind of change in your
organization.

Project
Team Collaboration: Leading One Big Happy Family
Presented by Ali Cox, BA Certified, CBAP, PMP, SAFe
Agilist
Join our GM and Lead Instructor, Ali Cox, for a
one-time, complimentary webinar! Throughout the years the way teams work has
changed, and with that, project team collaboration can be confusing. There was
a time when an analyst on a project team was responsible for a variety of
tasks, including project management, business analysis, development and quality
assurance, and implementation. Then there was a swing to a siloed approach of
individual roles for each. Now, organizations are realizing the best approach
is somewhere in between and are empowering their teams to self-organize and
make decisions themselves about their structure and way of working.
But how do you actually do this?
Session Roadmap

Review the work or capabilities needed for a
successful project team
·
Provide effective work strategies for the team to
build strong partnerships
·
Understand why saying “that’s not my job” is
unacceptable
