Ask a Professional Scrum Trainer - The Power of Facilitation Skills to improve Scrum Events and other Scrum Team interactions with Simon Flossmann and David Spinks

Presented by Simon Flossmann and David Spinks

 

Scrum has been in existence for more than 25 years as a simple framework for effective team collaboration on complex products. While it is lightweight and simple to understand, it can be difficult to apply effectively. The Scrum.org Ask a Professional Scrum Trainer series features Professional Scrum Trainers (PSTs) in a live session, answering your most pressing questions regarding the challenges and situations your Scrum Teams are facing.

Great Scrum Teams are self-managing, cross-functional and have the ability and skills necessary to drive to successful outcomes. However, team interactions don’t always go as expected and can cause conflict or roadblocks. Effective facilitation can help the Scrum Team move forward toward their desired outcomes. Within the Scrum events and beyond there are a lot of opportunities where good facilitation can help teams work better together.

In this episode of Ask a Professional Scrum Trainer moderated by Patricia Kong, PSTs Simon Flossmann and David Spinks answer your burning questions about Scrum and the challenges you or your teams may be facing when using Scrum, particularly within the Scrum events and other scenarios when it may be difficult to reach a decision on things, that could be resolved with good facilitation techniques and skills.

Conducting a Business Change Impact Assessment

Presented by Oge Nwachukwu, CBAP, CPOA, PMP, ACCA, PROSCI

 

Many businesses and organizations are in a constant state of change, because of the VUCA (volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity) world in which we exist today. As Business Analysis professionals, our key role is enabling successful change through deliberate and intentional application of BA principles and practices.

To achieve overall business outcomes as we enable change, there is a need to adopt a systematic approach in first understanding the impact of a given change initiative to every part of the organisation. From the people, to process, technology, equipment, facilities. Then, come up with a holistic plan to effect the changes.

Learning objectives:
    • Examine the concept and importance of business change impact assessment
    • Learn how and when to conduct a change impact assessment
    • Leverage the output of change impact assessment in other BA work

Elicit and Collaborate Like a Pro! Top Tips from an Expert

Excellent elicitation and collaboration has been cited as one of the key success factors in optimizing and managing stakeholder relationships.

What are the different types of stakeholders and how do we deal with each of them? What are the best techniques for each stakeholder type? Join us to learn the top techniques for effective elicitation and collaboration from Pamela Paterson, MS, CBAP, an expert and international best-selling author in business analysis.
