When agile, as a “methodology” gradually came to life, “business analyst” role was not explicitly defined. Team members were, for the most part, characterized as “generalists”. However, it was understood, for the most part that, “business analysis”, as a work “function” must exist.

In recent years, prominent organizations, such as Agile Alliance and IIBA, have moved forward in shedding light on the question of business analysis in agile environments and projects. This presentation, is another attempt in offering more clarity about business analysis and the business analyst’s role in agile.

The main objective of this presentation is to emphasize that the business analysis is a significant part of an agile project, and also to identify the “core” of activities, in the context of an agile environment and project. It also, will address the question of “agile business analyst”, and where it is very similar to “traditional” “Waterfall-ish” business analyst, and where it differs.

This presentation reflects the true lessons of several real life “cases”. The main attempt will be to provide “specifics” of “life of an agile business analyst”, and not just stay at the level of generalities.
