Hi Jan
Are you planning to attend Agile 2009 this year? Mike Cottemyer and myself have submitted an "agile BA workshop" proposal. This is not a tutorial hiding as a workshop, but a real old fashion workshop where we ask people "what are the issues for integrating agile practices and principles with the objectives of business analysis" Hopefully this workshop will be accepted. If you're in Chicago this summer this may be of interest to you. Agility and requirements are a huge area of interest to me - I make a lot of my living consulting in this area - and many people (on both sides of the fence) have developed a mindset that agility excludes analysis. In my view "agility restores sanity to analysis" to paraphrase Jim Highsmith. best regards, Steve From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of MASARYK Ján Sent: Thursday, February 12, 2009 10:37 PM To: Eclipse Process Framework Project Developers List Subject: RE: [epf-dev] EPF Outreach: Upload of Agile Business Analyst to Google Group Hi Steve, where can be this presentation found? definitelly its interesting for me. :-) best regards From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Steve Adolph Sent: Wednesday, February 11, 2009 7:04 PM To: 'Eclipse Process Framework Project Developers List' Subject: [epf-dev] EPF Outreach: Upload of Agile Business Analyst to Google Group Hello Everyone: I have uploaded a copy of a presentation I will do at SD West next month. This is a 90 minute talk (72 slides ouch!) derived from a 2 day tutorial I have developed. In the tutorial EPF figures much more prominently, but in a 90 minute talk all I can do is introduce EPF. Beyond the argument the BA role is not obsolete in the agile world (and in fact becomes much more relevant) the talk (and tutorial) is really about process design. I use EPF to illustrate the mechanics, but more importantly I introduce several patterns (only 4 of which I quickly introduce here) for guiding the decision making in software process design. This is definitely the direction I would like to take our outreach activities - a focus on how to evaluate a situation, a project context, and design a software process appropriate for that situation. EPF is then a nice way to express that process and provide a structure for that process (roles, tasks, work products, guidance etc). Ultimately, I would like to see us have a certification course along these lines Anyways, the SD talk should give you a sample of the direction I think we should go in with this. Just one favour, since I have not yet presented this topic at SD West, I would appreciate if this did not get broadcast across the entire public domain yet until after the conference. By the way if you are not a member of the EPF Outreach Google group, just drop me a line and I will send you an invitation. best regards, Steve
