Podcast: The Agile
Business Analyst Role
Presented by Traci Onkst, Agile and Business Analysis
Leader, Podcast Host: David Mantica, SoftEd
The early proponents of Agile and Scrum would tell you that
there is no Business Analyst role in agile/scrum. Even today, agile enthusiasts
will promote this concept. We propose a different viewpoint. There is a role for
the business analyst in agile/scrum; a very crucial role in fact.
There are those that will tell you that there are no roles
for QA Tester, Architect, Project Manager in agile/scrum. We feel that there
are.
The Scrum Guide™ states that the development team must have
all the skills and knowledge needed to deliver the product. It does NOT state
that every member of the development team has to have the skills and knowledge
to deliver the product. That would be saying that every member has to know how
to code. We feel that this idea is wrong. It is called the delivery team, not
the development team in the Agile Extension to the BABOK® Guide. If you lose
the specialized skills in business analysis, testing, architecture, project
management, and more; then your team’s work products will not be as good as
teams with these specialized skills.
Other proponents would tell you that you must become a
product owner or scrum master to work in an agile environment. We feel that the
business analyst provides a critical support role to both of these roles and
the entire delivery team.
Are you open to discussion? Come discuss this topic with us
in our podcast style presentation on The Agile Business Analysis
Role; even if your opinion is different than ours. This will be a
highly interactive, audience participation discussion on this important topic
in today’s workplace.
Key Takeaways for the audience:
• What is the Agile Business Analyst
role?
• How does the Agile Business Analyst
support the agile team?
• Should you have both an Agile Analyst
and Product Owner on your agile team?
• What is the impact of removing
business analysis from your agile teams?

Starting Over - To
Business Analysis and Beyond
Presented by Steve Blais, PMP, PBA, Author, Consultant,
Coach
According to statistics, if you are between 18 and 24 today
you will change careers an average of 5.7 times during your working lifetime.
So, the question becomes what should an analyst do to prepare themselves for a
career change so that they can take advantage of the many opportunities that
are out there. How can you apply your business analytical acumen, as well as
your business analysis techniques and practices, to move to a different
industry, or even a different role in the organization?
This webinar introduces you to a number of steps you can take to transition
into a business analyst career or, when it becomes necessary or desirable, to
transition into an entirely new career. It also will present some tips for how
to acquire that new career in the first place.
