In The Power of the Agile Business Analyst, Jamie Lynn Cooke challenges this approach and questions whether Agile projects that are run in this way can deliver the highest-value business solutions.
Agile developers can access a wide range of resources to help achieve their project goals. In contrast, the Agile business user often has very little support despite holding key responsibilities, such as gathering requirements, managing priorities and providing business knowledge to ensure the best possible solution. The business user also usually has wider responsibilities that make it difficult to give a project their full attention.
30 ways an Agile business analyst can help
Drawing on her extensive experience, Jamie proposes a new role for Agile projects: The Agile business analyst. She details 30 achievable ways that such a role will increase relevance, quality and overall business value, and provide business users with crucial support. The Agile business analyst is also a boon to the development team, being a ready source of business knowledge and ensuring that project outcomes align with requirements.
