Overview

Effective Communication in Agile Business Analysis

Agile Analysis at the Enterprise / Strategy Layer

• Here the priority of business goals are continually reassessed and emerging opportunities evaluated. Agile business analysis enables organizations to rapidly and effectively adapt the organization’s business goals and quickly redeploy the organization’s available resources.

Agile Analysis at the Project / Product / Initiative Layer

• Analysis performed here is concerned with the decisions surrounding defining and delivering a solution that satisfies a need identified in strategy or the enterprise. The goal of this analysis is to deliver a solution in a way that minimizes output and maximizes outcome.

Agile Analysis at the Solution / Application / Information / Process Layer

• Business analysis practitioners collaborate with team members to ensure there is a shared understanding of the need, identify and prioritize a backlog of actions that will meet the need, and establish a means of assessing outcomes.

Agile Techniques 

• It can be challenging to select the right technique in a situation when seeking a desired outcome. 
• Identify when a technique will contribute to a desired outcome. Are you communicating with an internal team or with stakeholders outside your team?
• Ask the same question when determining which technique will assist with process analysis, and whether you are presenting to your team or to other stakeholders.
• Which tools will aid with requirements management? Or understanding your customer? Or communicating to your customer?
