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!
