Lessons Learned from
Implementing Evidence-Based Management
Presented by Todd Miller, PST
Improving the way teams work and what is being delivered
requires conversations with management and stakeholders. Driving these
conversations requires data based on measurements in order to put a plan for
change in place and garner ways to know if your plan is working. This
includes strong visualizations to help drive the conversation.
Professional Scrum Trainer Todd Miller will discuss how
he has worked with several organizations to introduce Evidence-Based Management
(EBM) as a way to measure and drive the conversation based on qualitative data.
Todd will share his success stories and challenges from using EBM in companies
ranging from health insurance, insurance, retail, and multiple product
development companies including SaaS and PaaS. This webinar will be moderated
by Patricia Kong, Product Owner - Enterprise Solutions, Scrum.org.

Agility from Different
Viewpoints to Influence Digital Transformation
Presented by Fabrício Laguna, CBAP, PMP, MBA
Are you leading an agile transformation or just following
it? In the agile extension of the BABOK Guide, IIBA presents 3 different
horizons to plan work as a business analyst and agile practitioner. The role
you play in your organization will shape how far you can influence the agile
transformation in your organization. IIBA members should continuously work to
be more and more strategic, not just to enhance their individual careers, but
because this is how they can effectively help organizations to achieve better
business outcomes.
The Austrian author Klaus Leopold in the book Rethinking
Agile, proposes the concepts of Flight Levels to point why several tenants of
agile transformations fail by focusing on only one level. Horizons and Flight
levels are very similar metaphors, with some differences we will discuss in
this webinar. Understanding agility from these different viewpoints will help
you influence digital transformation in your organization.

Applied Requirements
Engineering: How to increase project success in any project setting
Presented by Stan Bühne, Vice Managing Director at IREB GmbH
Key Message: Requirements Engineering (RE) skills are
massively underestimated in many projects
• Today, software development must cope
with multiple challenges Increased complexity of system and environment
• New competitors that arrive in the
digital market space
• Limited time-to-market for new
products
• Stretched IT/ project budgets
Consequently, companies may switch to adaptive/agile
approaches to address these challenges. In the transformation phase from
plan-driven to adaptive/agile approaches, they are often tempted to save time
and effort when it comes to requirements elicitation, analysis and
documentation. This often results in software that does not meet user
expectations at all.
The reasons are unclear requirements at all stages of
development:
• Designers and developers who do not
know the actual needs and requirements
• Testers who cannot validate the
solution due to missing requirements
• Product owners who have lost the
overview of existing software capabilities
Even in an adaptive/agile world, requirements still need to
be elicited, understood, documented, consolidated and managed – though perhaps
to a lesser extent than in classical, plan-driven approaches.
When attending the webinar, you will:
• Understand the fundamental principles
of RE.
• Learn how RE makes the difference in
your projects.
• Learn how to find the best fitting RE
approach for your project setup.

Presented by Mary Lemmer
One of the many things we’ve learned in 2020 is that there
is a lot we cannot control! Everything is changing and we’re always figuring it
out as we go. Whether they realize it or not, leaders are improv comedians,
often with worse senses of humor :). Great business leaders and great
improvisers adapt to change, build trust among teams, communicate clearly, and
make decisions with limited information. Just like improv comedians create
their scripts from scratch and are masters of handling uncertainty, we can
learn to embrace uncertainty and change, turning chaos into comedy. During this
jam session (webinar), we’ll share principles and techniques to improvise your
leadership and teams all while having fun and laughing!
