Improving Communications to Perform More Effectively

Presented by Rick Clare, CBAP, PMP, CSM

 

The world around us is shrinking.  Business Analysts, Technical Team Members and Project Managers are required to work more often with global stakeholders. Often, we are surprised by how differently things are done outside our familiar environment. One common communication mistake we make is to assume that “everyone is the same at heart." Human communication is not simple or intuitive. It is something that we all need to study and improve on throughout our careers to become more effective and succeed in our ever-shrinking world.

The Product Owner role has become a popular path for many Business Analysts and is vital for achieving business agility.

7 Business Agility Practices That Work for (Almost) Any Team" Webinar

Presented by Netmind

 

We all know agile was initially designed with software development teams in mind. However, business agility is only possible if an organization has a quality-oriented culture that collectively shapes what we do as an organization and how we do it. To accomplish this, agile team practices have had to spread to all areas of an organization, so that now agile teams now exist in a wide variety of departments beyond IT, all with different functions and skills. Agile teams can now be found in HR, Marketing, Finance, and even Legal departments!

 

Ensuring that teams across an organization work with common practices inspired by the Agile values and with a Lean mindset is not easy. Teams are not always clear about what it means to be agile and which practices best fit their needs and enable them to respond to change efficiently and sustainably.

 

Join us for this free webinar to get the answer to the pivotal questions below and also, I will share 7 Lean Agile practices that are essential for any agile team who wants to respond in a sustainable way to the changing needs of its customers! 

 

    What determines the success or failure of teams that contribute to the overall agility of an organization, no matter the business area they belong to?

    What are some common patterns that we can find in teams that have really adapted to change?

    Which practices should be shared by teams across departments?

    Which practices should be left up to the teams to decide what is best for themselves?
