Maximise the Impact of Your Analysis and Architecture
Presented by: Martin Sykes
You can't hide poor analysis with fancy graphics, but you can fail to communicate excellent analysis with poor delivery. This session will range from capturing requirements to describing business capability change to system roadmaps to show techniques for effectively communicating the analysis to your audience. These techniques have been described in the book Stories That Move Mountains and will here be shown with examples and the key steps necessary to repeat the process with your own content. Methods are drawn from information analysis, story telling techniques, influencing skills, infographic design, and storyboarding.
Learning Objectives:
- Evaluate what the consumers need from your materials.
- Identify the key dimensions and elements to include in the communication.
- Understand how to tie a narrative with the visuals.
