Madison IIBA follow-up

I gave a presentation on “The Role of the BA in an Agile Environment” at the meeting of the Madison chapter of the IIBA (International Institute of Business Analysis) on Tuesday 9/15/2009. Because I delivered the presentation like an Agile project, with the audience developing a “product backlog” of topics for me to present in priority order, I had deliberately prepared more material than I had time for.

For you Madison IIBAers who’ve come here looking for the material, I haven’t posted my PowerPoint slides (and don’t plan to) because they aren’t able to stand on their own. As I get the chance, I’ll turn some of them into blog posts. Please let me know what would be most valuable to you and I’ll work on that first, according to the “maximize value within constraints” principle.

And thank you for being such a high-energy audience. I had a blast, but was totally wiped out when I left for home. I know that the Agile methods are rocking your world, and I want to help you, to quote Kent Beck, “Embrace Change,” if I can.
