One of the ongoing questions in the business analyst profession from those who manage business analysts to the business analysts themselves is “how do we measure business analysts?”

Since much of the success that business analysts achieve is based, in good part, on the work that others perform (as are the business analyst failures) it is difficult to carve out specific metrics that the business analyst (or the business analyst’s manager) can point to which support their claim to success or not.

But there may be some critical success factors in the profession that determine whether a business analyst is performing successfully, with excellence, or just adequately. Or worse…

This webinar discusses the problems of business analyst metrics and how business analysts are typically measured in terms of their overall success.

Coaching was not necessarily a role and practice that existed when Agile started as a new approach in the 1970s.

Agile began as an alternative to Lean Six Sigma which is the very mindset that is coming back to Agile as a way to ‘scale’ frameworks developed for small teams of software developers.

Like some other practices that originated in Extreme Programming (XP), Story Points and burndown charts, the Coach role evolved to something that is hard to define.

From an advisor to Senior Management, to a Trainer, or a salesman for various Agile certifications, the Agile Coach is almost always specific to software development. Agile Manufacturing and Lean Six Sigma, which may be considered much larger Business Transformations, don’t necessarily have a Coach for each unit of the organization.

In this webinar Stelian Roman (LinkedIn profile) gives a Project Manager’s analysis of the Agile Coach, Business Coach, and Lean Six Sigma’s Master Black Belt roles.

Intuitively, we know that simulations engage learners with realistic scenarios, but we now have the evidence to show they deliver upskilling at scale. Unlike other forms of digital learning, simulations measure the application of skills and bring breakthrough performance improvements.

• The business impact of immersive simulations,
  • Based on behavioral change data.
• Cutting-edge tech for creating immersive learning simulations.
• Use cases
  • for how you can apply simulations alongside existing eLearning.
• How you can rapidly introduce high-quality simulations.
