The Illusion of Alignment - How Scrum Teams can make Decisions Stick

Presented by Patricia Kong and David Spinks

 

One of the things that makes Scrum a powerful tool for solving complex problems is how it guides a Scrum Team and its stakeholders to leverage their collective experiences and diverse perspectives. However, this potential for problem solving brings its own challenges which includes how decisions are made as a group in a way that is satisfactory to everyone involved. A collective decision may appear to have been made, but some participants may feel frustrated or confused, they may feel like their contributions were not understood or they were not given enough of an opportunity to share their thoughts for example.

 

In this webinar, Patricia Kong and PST David Spinks discuss the group dynamics involved in decision making and how facilitation skills can help a Scrum Team navigate through periods of frustration, confusion or disengagement to reach true alignment on their collective decisions.

Transform Your Tech: Learn and Build Agile, Prepared and Security-focused Teams

Presented by Michael Yoo and Brad Puckett

 

Threats to an organization’s data come from all angles; inside, outside, burnt out employees, even honest mistakes. The broad nature of the threatscape makes cybersecurity everyone’s responsibility

 

Business leaders now recognize the cybersecurity is just as much their concern as it is for their partners in IT. Gartner research found that 88% of Boards agree cyber-threats pose a risk to the business (meaning, it’s not just IT’s problem).

 

This is good news for CISO’s who’ve worked hard to convince Boards of the very serious threats to the business – even those that come from inside the organization where the greatest defenses lie.

 

Join Skillsoft, as part of our Transformative Tech series, as we demonstrate how we can educate your organization to foster a culture of cybersecurity and unify all employees to manage risk and encourage agility and vigilance.

DevOps: There and Back Again (A Q&A with Our DevOps Experts)

Panelists: Chris Knotts, Jeff Sussna, Matt Genelin, Sean McDaniel

 

Anyone who offers you a canned, simplistic definition of DevOps probably hasn’t had “boots on the ground” in the effort to achieve it. DevOps requires that we build our own story by using desired business outcomes as a key component to map that journey. It’s only natural that questions will arise along the way.

Join a collaborative conversation with Cprime DevOps experts as we share practical tips, tricks and traps to avoid in the effort to make incremental changes that prove value and help scale impact to the greater team and organization.

Share your symptoms and pains and we will be on standby to help you diagnose and treat your DevOps ailments.

The doctor is in. Bring your questions

What Every Business Analyst Should Know About Privacy in the European Union

Presented by Christiane Vandepitte and Guy Kindersman

 

As a Business Analysis Professional, you are involved in the design of business software applications and business processes. You need to take many aspects into consideration, and one of them is PRIVACY. Businesses and other organisations need to be careful with the PERSONAL DATA they register. There are rules for collecting, storing, using, sharing and erasing personal data.

Does this apply to you? Does your business process handle Personally Identifiable Information (PII)? How does the processing work? Where are the records? Are they copied and sent to other places?

Different regions of the world enforce different privacy laws and regulations. Which of these apply to your data? What if different laws from different regions apply? For instance, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies to personal data of both citizens and residents of the European Union.

What should you do? What should you avoid doing? What preventive action can you take?
Join us and learn more about this important aspect of your job!

9 Business Analysis Techniques to Reduce Project Failure Rates

Presented by Emily Midgley, Tamara Copple, Imtiaz Kaderbhoy and Susan Moore

 

Did you know that October 13th is International Day for Failure? It may be strange or even ironic to have a day dedicated to the celebration of failure but as Thomas A. Edison once said “ I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.”

71% of transformation initiatives fail to reach desired outcomes. (1) And failure rates specifically for big data projects, analytics, and Artificial Intelligence loom large at 85%, according to Designing for Analytics. Business analysis increases project success rates by 63% (2) by improving a team’s efficiency in projects, clarifying scope with, and advocating for business stakeholders and the customer.

On this day of failure let us celebrate with much zeal and learning about business analysis techniques from IIBA’s A Guide to the Business Analysis Body of Knowledge Guide (BABOK® Guide) that can help with reducing failure and increasing project success rates.
The 9 BABOK® Guide Techniques we will discuss are:

1. Lessons Learned
2. Risk Analysis and Management
3. Brainstorming
4. Use Cases and Scenarios
5. Decision Analysis
6. Financial Analysis
7. Interface Analysis
8. Root Cause Analysis
9. Acceptance and Evaluation Criteria

Find Problems Before They Occur with Machine Learning and Analytics

Presented by Steve Blais, PMP, PMI-PBA

 

We all would love to be more proactive and anticipate problems so that we can take steps to solve them before they occur (if indeed, it is possible to solve a problem before it is one). While there are people who seem to have a knack for predicting, especially problems, few of us have trained with Nostradamus and learned the art of prognostication.

We do have, however, some tools that will provide some direction if not some actual answers. Predictive analytics, diagnostic analytics and prescriptive analytics coupled with machine learning technology can go a long way to predicting problems and suggesting solutions, which in many cases is simply taking actions to avoid the problem in the first place.

This webinar addresses project managers, business analysts and other non-data scientists and non-developers and provides guidance as to how machine learning and analytics can provide some insight into the future of your projects and products provided the right questions are asked. It will also address the issue of asking the right questions.
