Business Analysis in Agile initiatives
Understand here some actions that can help Business Analysts to develop their Agile mindset and offer agility in their work.
While the Agile Manifesto is all about software development, it’s important to remember that it’s just one piece of the bigger puzzle in enabling change in an organizational context. Business Analysis plays a key role in tackling a range of business challenges, from understanding people to optimizing processes and more – it’s not all about tech. Bringing these two worlds together in initiatives might mean some changes and a fresh way of thinking on defining needs and recommending solutions that deliver value to stakeholders.
Previously, in my article “What does an agile business analyst do?”, I had already pointed out 30 tasks that an Agile Business Analyst can perform at Agile initiatives. This Agile Business Analysts importance is also affirmed by Lynda G. and Debra P. in their book “Agile and Business Analysis”. They studied business analysis from an agile and agile perspective from a business analysis perspective.
