What kinds of food do you and your family serve at summer parties to celebrate your father? Fire up the grill and cook those hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken and more. Serve that mac & cheese and potato salad. Maybe homemade ice cream or fruit kabobs. Don’t forget the nice tall cold drink! Wear your favorite floppy hat and shades and bring a friend to our Father's Day party!

 

Bluegrass, Southeast Michigan, and Chicagoland IIBA Chapters are joining together to celebrate our fathers, and learn about some Agile Tips & Tricks from our resident experts. Bring your favorite summer time recipes and "dad jokes" to share as we continue to "Build our Community".

Crisis Mode: How to help yourself (and others) in moments of crisis and uncertainty

Presented by International Institute of Business Analysis

 

Everyone encounters situations of crisis, uncertainty, or which just make us anxious or afraid. Knowing yourself, knowing what makes you feel threatened, and how to function, manage, and mitigate in the worst of those moments is the mark of maturity as well as what can identify a senior practitioner.

 

In this session we’ll discuss the physical and mental reactions all people have to being in these “fight or flight'' situations, also called “being under threat”. In humanity’s past these situations were obvious - we see a lion, a bear, a snake, and that part of our brain takes over as an asset to us. Selected mental and physical reactions take over, enhancing survival focus and chemically charging our bodies for activity.

 

However…when that threat isn’t a lion, but a layoff; not a cobra but a conflict; not a famine but a failure, our biological threat reaction doesn’t serve us as well.

Learning how to manage yourself when threats occur - a major crisis as well as routine daily work - are equally important. This skill transfers directly to your life outside your job, as perceived threats don't start or stop at the office door.

 

Join us for this session about understanding the threat reaction, how to manage the harder aspects of it in modern life, and using these skills to help yourself and others weather the storms we all encounter.

 

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

1. Understand what constitutes “threat” to the mind.

2. Understand the process that occurs upon encountering a threat, what it enhances and what it inhibits.

3. Understand and be able to begin to employ techniques which allow you to mitigate, manage, and function within threat environments. Be able to introduce others to the same techniques.

Critical Success Factors for Business Analysts

Presented by Steve Blais, PMP, Author, Trainer, Coach

 

One of the ongoing questions in the business analyst profession from those who manage business analysts to the business analysts themselves is “how do we measure business analysts?”

Since much of the success that business analysts achieve is based, in good part, on the work that others perform (as are the business analyst failures) it is difficult to carve out specific metrics that the business analyst (or the business analyst’s manager) can point to which support their claim to success or not. But there may be some critical success factors in the profession that determine whether a business analyst is performing successfully, with excellence, or just adequately. Or worse...

This webinar discusses the problems of business analyst metrics and how business analysts are typically measured in terms of their overall success.

WHEN WILL YOU BE DONE? How to Answer in an Agile Framework! with Ryland Leyton, CBAP

Presented by Ryland Leyton, CBAP

 

Answering “when will you be done?” to people outside the team – like the C-suite, directors, and managers – is often a challenge for teams focused on building software. Speaking to this group in a way comprehensible for an elevator or a hallway is a core competency for any agilist who wants to retain freedom and funding! This session takes a brief walk through the concept of velocity, explains the “cone of uncertainty”, burn-up and burn-down charts, and then shows you how to provide a ready and truthful answer about when you’ll be done.

 

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

    Understand the concept of velocity as used in common agile situations.

    Understand what causes velocity to increase and decrease on teams.

    Understand how to estimate large chunks of work to obtain useful range answers and project valid “finishing” answers for your stakeholders.

 

Audience: Public

Date/Time: Thursday, June 15, 2023; 7:00 pm – 8:00 pm EDT

Host: Birmingham, Bluegrass, Palmetto, and St. Louis IIBA Chapters
