Businesses choose Agile to speed time to market of their products and stay nimble and responsive to constantly changing customer needs.

As development cycles accelerate, it is more important than ever for project teams to ensure development activities align with business priorities. The challenge is making sure that everyone has a shared vision of what is being built and why throughout the development process.

Both business and development teams need to be able to collaborate on key decisions affecting the product, schedule or budget at any time.

Join this event and learn key ideals of Agile and challenges faced by Business Analysts. We’ll focus on what we’ve heard as the top challenges of Agile development, and how to solve them.
