		<description><![CDATA[Those who wonder how to mesh Agile with a portfolio management or gating process will find some help in Agile Idea Qualification and Project Initiation, an engaging, 50-minute webinar by Sally Elatta. Sally highlights the similarities between Agile and Lean. I wholeheartedly agree with her that the jelled, multi-functional team (BA, DBA, UI/UX, programmer, QA), [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I finally got around to conducting a half day of training for some local colleagues who bear the title “Business Analyst,” and whose organizations (and in some cases careers) had been shaken up by the arrival of the Agile Methods (most commonly Scrum) in the Early Majority. There were only four of us all together, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is the third of three parts on how to sabotage Agile adoption in your company, especially for Business Analysts. If you want Agile to succeed, don&#8217;t do this stuff. If you want Agile to fail because you&#8217;re benefitting from the status quo, good luck with that, too. Just make sure you have each item [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I got the idea for How to Sabotage Agile from a weather safety talk I once heard called “How to Get Hit By Lightning.” It&#8217;s more memorable and fun to read about what not to do. Tell the sysadmins, tech support folks, and in-house counsel that Agile means developers will be pushing code to production [...]]]></description>
