Rethinking
BPMN Part 3: The Business Rule Task and DMN
Presented by Razvan Radulian
In the first webinar of the "Rethinking
BPMN" series, we talked about what GOOD Process Models are.
In the second webinar, we talked about a good PROCESS
to model GOOD BPMN Processes.
In this webinar/whitepaper, the third in this series,
we will talk about how to address the Spaghetti process models problem
(unnecessarily complicated process models, due to the fact that they try to
capture complex decisions using solely BPMN). We will see how to simplify such
process models (using the Business Rule task in BPMN), without losing the
ability to model complex decisions (using DMN). As before, we will analyze
several examples to demonstrate theoretical concepts.
Topics/examples covered in this webinar:
• Why is process modeling (even when using BPMN) not
the best way to model complex business rules/decisions? Introduce/analyze a
Spaghetti process model.
• What is the Decision Model and Notation (DMN)
standard and why was it created?
• What is the difference between Decision Requirements
and Decision Logic? How do you model them (Requirements and Logic) in
DMN?
• Why is modeling Decisions in DMN a better option
(than in BPMN)?
• What is a Business Rule Task (in BPMN) and why was it
created?
• How do we combine BPMN and DMN to simplify process
models/modeling and to achieve more precise and clear decision models?
• Lessons-learned: How can you apply all this
information?

The BA and Data Mining
Presented by Steve Blais, PMP, Consultant, Author, Teacher,
Coach
Data mining has been considered the province of the data
scientist and data analyst. But the data scientists and data analysts only
solve the business problems that are given to them provided those business
problems can be solved with data.
Someone has to analyze the processes and conditions of the
business to determine what the problems are and then determine whether data can
solve those problems and answer the questions related to those problems. And
that someone is the business analyst.
This webinar provides guidelines to determining business
problems that can be solved with data and provides the details of what data
mining is all about.
Topics:
·
Business analyst or data analyst or data scientist?
·
Determine the right data
·
The process of getting value from data
·
Produce actionable insights
·
Provide the questions and interpret the answers

Where Do Business
Analysts Fit into the Scaled Agile Framework?
Presented by Michael Roberts, ASPE Training
For many years, the Scaled Agile Framework® (SAFe) has been
a leading scaling methodology for large enterprises wanting to apply agile
practices for large groups of individuals. Published by Dean Leffingwell
and his fellows at Scaled Agile Inc., they have had Fortune 1000 companies
adopting the framework left and right as a way of working differently to adapt
to market changes and implement a better way of working. In the SAFe
model however, the term “Business Analyst” doesn’t exist. In this
informative talk, we will discuss the SAFe 5.0 framework and provide some
context on how Business Analysts would survive and thrive in such an
environment/implementation of the Scaled Agile Framework.
We Will Cover:
·
Organizational challenges that are addressed by SAFe 5.0
·
An introduction to the SAFe framework “BIG Picture”
·
How an Agile Release Train (ART) powers SAFe
·
How Business Analysts fit into the Scaled Agile Framework as
team members, POs or PMs

I'm a BA Girl in an
Agile World
Presented by Mindy Bohannon, CBAP, Managing Consultant at
Excella
Do the Business Analyst's (BA) roles and responsibilities on
an agile project differ from those on a waterfall project? Should the three
amigos always include the analyst? At a minimum, the answer is certainly yes to
both questions, although how the work is done depends on the team and project.
During this session we will review how the role of a Business Analyst on an
agile project can vary, and further discuss the impact on the development team
and what makes a Business Analyst good at his/her job. All analysts bring
excellent communication, collaboration, and trust to their work on project
teams – but how we communicate and collaborate will differ.

A Golden Partnership -
PMs, BAs, and POs
Presented by Peter Monkhouse, President at MonkArt
Organizations need great products to implement their
strategy. They also need products that meet customers’ needs and demands. One
of the challenges organizations have is how to align the roles to execute
strategies better and produce more value for their customers. This presentation
will explore the roles of project managers, business analysts, and product
owners working together in partnership through the project and product
lifecycles. We will first define the roles of project managers, business
analysts, and product owners and their interactions. We will discuss how the
roles fit into the product lifecycle to deliver value to customers. We will
present the iterative product development approach through an example and why
this approach is key to delivering value to customers. Then we will show how
project managers, business analysts, and product owners support each other in
the iterative approach to ensure appropriate stakeholder engagement and
communications and getting feedback from customers. Through continuous
feedback, integration, and product improvement will result in products meeting
customer needs and organizations achieving their strategic objectives. This
virtual presentation has been designed with interactive discussions and
activities.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
·
Describe roles of Project Managers, Business
Analysts, and Product Owners on projects
·
Apply the three roles to an effective iterative
product development cycle
·
Understand how the three roles need to work
together to improve communications and gather customer feedback
