Business Analysis and Agile Principles

How many times we as a Buisness Anaysts heard these questions "As a Business Analyst how to work in an Agile Envrionment? What is a role of a BA in Agile?"

In an agile context, business analyst views the entire system of people, process, and technology to find where true value lies and to help organizations maximize the likelihood of delivering a valuable and valued solution.

Agile analysis pays special attention to the voice of the customer to understand their values and expectations. To confirm what is valuable, it is common to use concrete examples to both elicit and validate product needs.

Technology stakeholders are empowered by effectively analyzed needs. It helps them determine how much work they can deliver at any given point in time, identify product requirements options, and provide recommendations to business partners on solutions.

Facilitative techniques enable efficient and effective collaboration and accelerate a team's ability to define and deliver products.

Trust and safety are integral to healthy teams and allows them to transparently identify improvement opportunities. Improving both product and process is imperative; therefore agile teams continually strive to get better.

Always try to minimize the waste.

Adopting these guidelines requires leveraging, extending, and adapting foundational business analysis techniques.

Refer below matrix of business analysis techniques that may apply in an agile context and provide valuable context when applying the various Business Analysis techniques.

I hope this will clear the role of a BA and how to apply BA Techniques in Agile environment.

Thank you!!!
