Common Sense Scrum: Why
Scrum Gets So Much Resistance
Presented by Eric Tucker, Trainer and Consultant, Corporate
Education Group
One common belief is that Scrum was designed to help
you solve problems as you develop products and/or services. In fact,
the primary benefit of Scrum is the opposite. If executed the way it is
intended, Scrum’s superpower is its ability to reveal your problems, rapidly.
Why do so many companies cherry-pick parts of Scrum to execute, while
discarding other parts? Because by human nature, we don’t like having our
shortcomings thrown in our faces. In this webinar, we’ll look at the Scrum
framework and provide common-sense reasons why Scrum should be practiced in its
entirety — or not at all. The short-and long-term benefits far outweigh the
short-term discomfort.

Creating Requirements
During Times of Constant Change
Presented by Pamela Paterson, BJ, MS, CBAP, LEAN Six Sigma
As business analysts, we are known for being experts at
identifying and managing business requirements. But, how should our most
notable skills be adapted as COVID-19 has the world around us going through
constant change? The remote BA cannot depend upon “hallway” networking and
face-to-face interpersonal skills. A completely remote or hybrid environment
can block the flow of communication with our stakeholders. Furthermore, as the
financial markets fluctuate, business priorities are encountering unexpected
shifts. There is a need for the BA to have a sense of personal agility, whether
their workplace culture is agile or not. And although always important,
requirements traceability is now more important than ever. Amid business
disruption, the BA needs to track requirements changes using the best practices
and tools at their disposal. So, how can a BA, whether remote or not, continue
to deliver the value expected in requirements creation and maintenance amid
this constant change? Join us and learn the answers.
Learning Objectives:
• How to overcome remote communication
blockers
• How to incorporate personal agility
into requirements elicitation and management
• How to use best practices and tools to
maintain requirements traceability

How Business Value
Engineering Unlocks The Potential of Digital Transformation
Presented by International Institute of Business Analysis
(IIBA®)
By attending this webinar, you will learn how Business Value
Engineering helps align stakeholders and delivers the basis for successful
change efforts. Business Value Engineering involves understanding how
stakeholders perceive value before using that insight to shape the vision for
future state offerings and then optimizing the steps needed to get there.
As business colleagues collaborate, they gather and structure knowledge information
supported by focused “pathways” that help them answer questions such as:
• Which innovations should we prioritize and why? What are the costs and
resources versus the
expected benefits identified?
• What does the roadmap look like for a given business capability? What’s the
best way of
“chunking” change and capability uplifts over time?
• Ultimately, how do we align investment decisions with the potential for value
contribution to the
things our stakeholders care about?

The Business Analyst:
Managing Up and Over
Presented by Steve Blais, PMP, PBA, Author, Consultant,
Coach
As a business analyst, do you manage your manager? Do you
know what information to provide to your manager, when to provide it and how to
provide it in the best and most influential manner? Are you ever in a position
where you need to “manage” other people on the project or even those outside
the project, even though you have no authority to do so?
In a survey of CIOs conducted a few years back, the majority mentioned some
form of upward management as a contributor to their success in achieving their
executive level positions. The role of the business analyst is one in which the
exercise of upward management contributes to their future success, but it is
also necessary to their basic survival and success in their role. Upward
management and what we might term “sideways management”, or the management of
others outside the project who are in a supervisory role, is a form of applying
influence to get things done without exerting authority.
This webinar discusses the different aspects of upward and sideways management,
providing tips and techniques to employ as well as pitfalls to avoid.
