When you look at all the buzz about agile system development methods, most of it seems to apply to software developers and project managers; but, where does business analysis fit?

Don’t the developers just go and ask the users for their requirements? The right answer is: “Not if you want a solution that really meets the business need!”

The trouble is that message doesn’t seem to be getting through. Sure we can deliver what the business asked for, but is it that they really needed?

When you are caught up in the energy and effort of a fast-paced agile system development effort, it’s all too easy to get mired in the details and lose sight of the big picture.

In this webinar, you’ll learn where business analysis fits within the agile system development life cycle (SDLC), and some great tips and techniques for focusing the efforts of your team on the business need, not just on the system.

Key learning points include:

• Understand the role of business analyst on an agile project: what is different and what is the same?
• Apply proven techniques to make sure you get the right requirements and that the team gets them right.
• Learn useful tips for dealing with common problems that could arise in an agile project
