SUMMARY:LinkedIn Live: Selling The Value Of Business Analysis
DESCRIPTION:Despite the growing opportunities for business analysts and the rising tide of opportunities within the profession\, the struggle to communicate our value persists. The good news is that the power to shift perceptions and change the narrative lies within us. \nIn this session with Adrian Reed and Christina Lovelock\, the founders of the BA School Day initiative and active consultants and trainers\, we’ll explore how to amplify our voice and advocate for the significance of business analysis. \nYou’ll receive practical strategies to: \n● Effectively communicate about the value of business analysis outside the echo chamber of mutually-supportive business analysts. \n● Navigating overlaps and intersections of business analysis with related roles in product ownership\, project management\, and even user experience design\, and owning the value business analysts bring to multidisciplinary teams. \n● Understanding the impact of imposter syndrome and taking new actions to inspire and integrate confidence. \nJoin us for a dynamic conversation aimed at elevating the recognition and impact of business analysis in organizations.

SUMMARY:The Art of Cybersynergy: How To Get Security Teams Out Of Your Way And Onto Your Side – With Mark Cross
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever found yourself in eleventh hour negotiations with someone from your information security team as you try to get through change control? As we strive to make our projects more agile\, it is becoming more and more common that our goals of maintaining project velocity and quality can become disconnected and this can lead to rising tensions and last minute compromises that leave everyone dissatisfied. \nAs a business analyst who has worked on both sides of the fence\, Mark has had the opportunity to gain a special insight into what makes security teams tick and explore ways to ensure that his projects run more smoothly and deliver more resilient products that keep everyone happy. \nIn this session\, you will learn about how the role of information security officers has changed in recent years and what keeps them up at night. We will discuss the main places where projects can get caught out and what the true cost of missed security requirements can be. Finally we will walk through a simple methodology that will allow you to streamline the process of identifying security concerns early to avoid headaches later

SUMMARY:So\, Are You a Product Thinker?
DESCRIPTION:FREE WEBINAR: \nSoftware delivery often comes to continuous output fatigue with little to none observable impact. Outputs are easy to plan\, easy to assign\, relatively easy to produce\, definitely easy to see. They give a sense of completion. In practice\, teams are “doing agile” while not being able to bring a working product to their customers. \nWithout a working product there is no change adoption\, no behaviour change. Product orientation focuses on the customer behaviour aspect that is anticipated to lead to meaningful business improvement. \nBusiness analysis & product management are strategic allies who enable product thinking by ingesting product discovery\, focus on problem domain exploration\, experiment with solutions and drive continuous learning. \nAnna Kochanowska wants to encourage BAs to apply product thinking\, to show how this concept translates into our role\, how it should evolve\, what competencies we need\, and how we should reshape the traditional business analysis capability in order to help our organizations to speak the same language – the language of outcomes and value.
