Presented by Rachel Wilterdink, CBAP, BA Consultant

 

If you’re a Business Analyst, you may have noticed that there are some distinct differences between eliciting requirements for Business Intelligence versus Software Development projects.

 

Business intelligence is all about giving the business the information it needs to measure success or failure, and to identify and respond to both threats and opportunities; getting at these details can be tricky.

 

Join me as I share with you 12 key questions that can kick-start your elicitation of requirements for Business Intelligence projects.

Business Analysis: Past, Present & Future—a 30 min chat with Indy Mitra

Presented by Indy Mitra

 

The business analysis profession has existed in one form or another for decades and there is great debate about when the profession started. One date we can be absolutely sure of is October 29th, 2003: this is the date the inaugural meeting of the International Institute of Business Analysis (IIBA®) was held.

A lot has changed in twenty years, and this is the perfect opportunity to reflect on business analysis past, present and future.

What better person to discuss this with than Indy Mitra, who was there when IIBA was formed and also served as director and chair of the board.

The session will be informal, conversational and if you attend live you can type your own questions into the chat. The topics covered will depend on where the conversation takes us, but it’s envisaged that we’ll cover:

✔️History of business analysis: What led to IIBA being formed? What was the BA landscape like in 2003, and how have things changed?

✔️Current BA challenges: What are the current challenges faced by BAs? How can or should we respond to them?

✔️Future of business analysis: What does the future hold?

 

This will be a conversation that you won’t want to miss. We hope that you can join us!

Traceability in Agile Processes

Presented by Steve Blais, PMP, PBA

 

There are quite a few best practices and recommended techniques that are touted around the traditional project management community, and even taken for granted, that are completely missing in the agile world. Even roles disappear – the business analyst and project manager have been excommunicated in Scrum and other agile approaches, for example. There is no WBS, precedence network, Gantt chart, risk analysis and risk management, status reports and lessons learned submissions. Or are there?

Is it possible that practices that have withstood the test of time for project management or product development have no value anymore? Or does agile still use them, perhaps just in a different way?

One of these practices, primarily employed to reduce risk of building the wrong product is traceability. This webinar discusses the “lost project management practices” in agile and whether they are really lost, using traceability as an example.

 

Audience: Public

Date/Time: Thursday, October 19, 2023; 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm EDT
