Has your team implemented Agile practices but wants to improve time to delivery? Are the testing practices slowing down your Agile team? Do you want to take your Agile BA skills to the next level?

Join us to learn how one team at US Citizen and Immigration Services (USCIS) delivered its first production release 8 weeks after team formation and continues to deliver every few weeks - a revolution in government IT. We will share a technique that enables communication between stakeholders, analysts and developers through a common language. Improvement of the testing process increases business performance -  the team is more efficient, there is less redundancy, less wasted time, and most importantly more working software sooner.

Behavior Driven Development increases speed of delivery through automation of testing. It leads to better customer collaboration, faster response to change, and quicker delivery of working software. We will explore how the USCIS team collaborated, what the team learned, and how they continue to improve through continuous delivery with automated testing.

We will include a hands-on exercise for participants to practice and understand this technique.

This presentation is geared towards business analysts experienced in the Agile process or interested in the Agile process and are ready to enhance their skills and create a high performance team.
