Building Software Faster - How BA's can help
Start: 6:00 am
End: 6:30 am

In today's fast-paced world of software development many new and exciting development methodologies/processes have emerged, including Scrum, Feature-Driven Development (FDD), Crystal and many others. However, regardless of the process involved, business analysts can help software development teams create better software in a shorter timeframe. The lean principles that form the basis of agile software development methods can be utilized even in a waterfall development process. This talk will focus on how those principles can be applied regardless of the development process being used.

Webinar: Using Lean Thinking to Improve Agile Testing: The New Role of QA
Start: 11:00 am
End: 12:00 pm

Testing obviously takes on new importance in agile development. Automated acceptance test, test-driven development, and other techniques are rising in both importance and practice. These are necessary, but not enough. Finding errors is only half the problem--and not the most important half at that. Testing must improve the development process to avoid the errors in the first place. Errors aren't just bugs. They include commincation errors, errors in understanding, and many other kinds of errors.

Beyond User Stories: Managing Requirements by Business Need
Start: 10:00 am

The use of stories in agile projects is commonplace. However, teams in many organizations have discovered limitations in the user story’s narrow view in complex projects. Attempts to coordinate related stories through “epics” and “themes” may help the details of managing the problem but generally leave the enterprise view unaddressed—particularly when multiple teams are working together.

Seminar: Avoiding Under and Over Design In Agile Projects
Start: 6:00 am
End: 8:30 am

This talk focuses on what developers must attend to when building systems with Agile methods. It discusses an alternative to the choices of:

  • Design for the future which often results in overdesign
  • Not designing at all which often makes code difficult to change

The mantra of the talk is “minimizing complexity and rework” and shows how to use the advice from Design Patterns, coupled with the attitude of not building what you don’t need from Agile.
