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.

Pull requests have become the No. 1 undiagnosed bottleneck in engineering—and we have the data to prove it. After analyzing 1,000,000 pull requests, LinearB has uncovered CI/CD’s greatest weakness and—thankfully—a eureka moment that will forever change the developer experience: Continuous Merge.

Here’s the dirty little secret: not all PRs are created equal. They don’t all need the same level of effort, and some of them don’t need any human intervention at all—it’s just a matter of using data and context to know which is which, and creating intelligent automation workflows to handle PRs appropriately.

In this session, Luke  will dive deep into how to change your processes so your team can adopt Continuous Merge and other practices in order to merge and release faster, with higher quality.

Presenter: Luke Kilpatrick (LinkedIn profile) Director of Developer Experience  started as web developer in 1996, transitioning to building developer programs in 2010 with VMware. Luke has managed and spoken at developer events around the world with highlights being Atlassian Appweek, Nutanix .NEXT, DevRelCon and Data’s Future Developer Summit.
