One of the fastest growing areas of interest for both Project
Management and Business Analysis is the Agile methodology. What is the

or are both still viable methods? Come and find out in this webinar as we
examine the two methodologies side-by-side and debunk a few myths along the
way. This webinar will be 30 minutes long with a live question and answer
session afterward.

Ensuring Mission Delivery for Government Programs
Presented by Jama Software
With cost overruns and project delays putting mission critical Government
projects at risk, both the Office of Management & Budget and Department of
Defense have mandated that IT programs adopt iterative delivery models, such as
Agile and Scrum. This offers new efficiencies to cope with increased velocity,
but creates a whole new set of challenges around being able to quickly gather
and approve requirements and changes, while still capturing the necessary
levels of traceability.

Why “Beauty and Brains” Matter for CRM
Presented by Evan Quinn, EMA Analyst and Jamie
Anderson, VP CRM Products at SAP
As sales reps
increasingly focus on getting ahead of the digital customer, sales
organizations will shop for "beauty and brains" when it comes to CRM
software. These next generation solutions break free from legacy cloud and
on-premises software and focus more on social, mobile, and analytics, as well
as ways to deliver a new, elegant user experience. Since mobility is the
biggest driver of sales effectiveness, sales teams also need solutions that put
the office in their pocket in order to help them accelerate sales cycles while
on the road.

Organizational Change Webinar: Innovation is Not for Lone
Rangers
Presented by Doug Jackson, Robbins Gioia and Paula Pierce,
Peridona Strategies LLC
A Wall Street
Journal article postulates that innovation comes from inside a company through
networks—not lone individuals. The authors offers strategies to cultivate
innovation, such as making efforts to break down the walls between company
departments, rapidly testing and refining ideas, and figure out whether there
are people in the chain of command who are hard to work with. But for most
large organizations, this “formula” for innovation is difficult to implement.
Change, especially innovative change, is often is met with organizational
resistance. Conversely, the culture of the organization often expresses
collective frustrations with the limitations of business processes and
underlying technologies to support business needs.

No Time Like the Present: The Case for Streaming Analytics
Presented by Robert Benefield of Evolve Beyond, Ben
Kepes of Diversity Analysis, and Chris Haddad of WS02
Capturing information from cars, planes, wind
turbines, social media, business and IT systems, and any other kind of data
source in a cost-effective manner was made possible with Hadoop. This was a
huge break through, but it turns out that performing analysis on the data
stored in Hadoop can deliver stale facts and trailing guidance. For certain use
cases, such as real time network usage for telecom providers, security
surveillance systems, or fraud detection for credit card companies, there is a
requirement for real-time data analysis as the information streams over the
wire.

Business Analysis is a Process not a Role
Presented by John Parker, CEO of Enfocus Solutions
Many organizations simply view business analysis as requirements
development and management, however this view is vastly different from what is
expressed in IIBA’s Business Analysis Body of Knowledge (BABOK). The
BABOK defines a Business Analyst as “Any person who performs business analysis
activities, no matter what their job title or organizational role may
be.” The BABOK goes further and says that Business Analysts do not just
have the title Business or System Analysts they may also be perform related
roles such as Project Management, Developers, Quality Assurance and Interaction
Design. This broad role of business analysis makes it appear more of a
process than a role.
