Agile. One single word has sparked an unprecedented amount of confusion in the technology world. Did your organization throw out your business analyst team when it went "agile"? Have they banned all documentation? Are teams struggling to see the "big picture today"?

These are real examples that Brian Watson has encountered. Brian reveals the facts and busts the myths about requirements, documentation, teamwork and the role of the business analyst in an agile environment. Often the relationship between the product owner and the team develops through the activities normally associated to business analysts. Learn how this relationship grows through identifying and building a minimum viable product (MVP), which manifesto principles are critical to your business analysts, the truth behind the cost of extensive documentation, how to use "just enough" documentation to be successful, and discover how to harness your business analysis skills to navigate the stormy waters of an agile transformation.
