Foundations of Business Analysis
Most companies rely heavily on the IT Business Analyst to make this happen. The Business Analyst serves as the liaison between non-IT employees who have a business problem to solve and the IT team who provides the technical solution. The Business Analyst must be tech-savvy, must be able to build consensus, and must be a great communicator as these two sides of the company often speak very different languages. In this era of bare-bones IT budgets and extreme cost-cutting pressure, the Business Analyst role is growing in importance.

Cambridge, Nottingham and Business Analysts
The slides for the talk are now online “The role of the Business Analyst in Agile”. What has become clear to me is: a lot of Business Analysts are wondering where they fit in the Agile world. The first is in August and is specifically for BAs, Agile Foundations for Business Analysts. My talk at the first meeting of the IIBA in Nottingham last week went well - don’t just take my word for it Alex Papworth says so too. If you saw my presentation to the IIBA BA conference last September you will recognise the presentation, only minor changes.
