| | | Register for our Thursday, February 16th Event at Chubb in Whitehouse Station Mark Jenkins is Presenting "Filling The Blank Page" |
| Mark your calendars for this informative meeting and learn what to do in this scenario: You arrive at a meeting and, as you are being introduced as the business analyst (BA), the meeting leader relinquishes the lead to you for the purpose of gathering or documenting the requirements.
What you need to do to eliminate the Blank Page Syndrome (BPS).
- Understand the need or goal of a project, so that connections to a solution, conflict guidance, and scope control are improved.
- Understand the basic flow of how a process or system works, to have a context and framework within which to better understand, direct, and document a project.
- Estimation of time is only accurate if you divide a project into small chunks of effort and then add them together.
Combining these three points into a cohesive strategy and framework, the Business Analyst can add much more value to a project as well as see their career extend into the Enterprise Analysis arena. The venue is still to be determined but you can Register here

| BABOK Guide Agile Extension Overview at February Meeting | | The Agile Extension to the BABOK® Guide will be highlighted in this month's BABOK overview before the main speaker. The guide addresses agile development practices that have emerged since 2009. An interactive session will illustrate one of the following topics:
- The importance of business analysis practices in an agile context.
- How business analysis is performed in agile lifecycles.
- Key principles that should guide business analysis practice in agile environments.
- How agile practices modify business analysis tasks, and existing techniques that are useful in an agile context.
- Information on new techniques and additional information on existing techniques.
The Agile Extension was developed as a collaborative effort between the Agile Alliance and IIBA®. IIBA and the Agile Alliance are seeking feedback from the agile and business analysis communities on its content, and invite all members of those communities to submit that feedback before January 31, 2012. |
