7 Core Power Skill Required in the Face of Rapid Change with David Mantica

Presented by David Mantica, VP and General Manager, SoftEd USA

 

Business Analysts and SDLC professionals work in complicated and complex environments. You have critical work to complete but do not have the positional powerbase to “drive” your solutions and ideas forward as well as to “compel” people to engage you. This requires strong “power skills” that enable you to work successfully in a matrix environment and drive your work / solutions forward.

 

The power skills we will cover:

 

    Systems Thinking

    Critical Thinking

    Presents

    Utilizing Silence

    Value Analysis

    Radical Candor

    Unlearning

 

We will dig into each power skills and discuss simple tools and techniques to build up these skills. These are not practices or templates that you can learn and just do. These are hard skills that take practice and require you to “stretch” and become comfortable when you make mistakes.

 

Learning Objectives

    Understand the importance and value of power skills

    Leverage them for success

    Techniques that will strengthen them

User Stories: What's the Point and Why do we Use Them? with Ryland Leyton, CBAP

Presented by Ryland Leyton, CBAP, Agile Coach, Speaker, Author

 

User stories are a core technique for most agile frameworks. Why is that? Why are they valuable, and are there any alternatives?

 

In this session we'll discuss:

    Why user stories are such a universal practice, the limitations they impose.

    The good, the bad, and the ugly of using user stories.

    We'll talk about alternatives (such as Job stories and Hypothesis stories) and where they fit into good practice.

    We'll talk about some of the common mistakes in agile practice when using stories. (Hint: not everything is a user story, and not everything should be!)

 

As with all the talks, this session will allow lots of time for Q&A so we can focus on what's important to you!

 

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    Understand why user stories are a common technique in agile frameworks and why.

    Understand best & worst practices around user stories.

    Understand alternatives to user stories.
