Description:

Is what a business analyst (BA) does on an agile project much different from what is done on a waterfall project? Yes and No. Do the three amigos include the analyst or not? It certainly does! Although how the work is done depends on the team and project. During this session we’ll review how the role of a BA on an agile project can vary, how BAs impact the development team, the various roles a BA does, and what makes a BA good at their jobs. All analysts bring excellent communication, collaboration, and trust to their work on project teams – but how we communicate and collaborate will differ. This session is targeted at anyone on a project team that has never worked with an analyst before.

Key Takeaways:

• Understand the progressive elaboration with analysis staying several sprints ahead of development

• Understand the Roles a BA plays on a project other than BA

• Know and utilize the skills an analyst brings to the team
