2 Outline What Agile is NOT Key Components of Agile The Conversion to Agile The New Development Project using Agile The Maintenance Releases using Agile The Future of BA s on Agile Projects

3 What Agile is NOT Big A : Formal Agile a disciplined methodology (i.e. stand up meetings, co-located, iterations) Little a : Informal agile teams just trying to do things quickly, haphazard and chaotic

4 Agile Manifesto Agile Values: Individuals and interactions Over Process and tools Working Software Over Comprehensive documentation Customer Collaboration Over Contract negotiation Responding to change Over Following a plan

5 Key Components of Agile Short Iterations Small Dedicated Project Teams Co-located Teams Pairings Assigned SME Weekly Sprints Daily Standup Meetings Design/Build/Test as you go Highly Functioning and Self-managed Team Task Board and Burn down Chart Retrospectives

6 Converting to Agile Brought in Agile Coaches Gave Exit Packages to Non-Agile Resources Brought in New Agile-minded Resources Sent the Team to Agile Boot Camp Co-Located the Team Conducted Team Building Exercises Created a Fun Environment Made Most Resources 100% Dedicated

7 New Development Project using Agile Semi- Weekly Deploy & Retrospectives Iteration 0 Scoping of The Project Weekly Stakeholder Demos Initial Backlog Decomposition Sprint Daily Scrum Team Meetings Semi Weekly Sprint Planning Meetings

8 The Project Parameters Government Regulation Hard Deadline Existing Application New Data Fields Significant Changes to Business Rules & Process Impact to 12 Different Departments Impact to Entire Customer Base Coincided with Media & Marketing Campaigns Two Executive Sponsors The #1 Priority for the 4th Quarter

9 The BA s Project Initiation Tasks Iteration (0) Zero Sponsor Consensus on Approach Assist with High Level Technical Design Interviews and Facilitated Sessions 1 or more Iterations Ahead of Development Wiki Set Up Artifacts: User List User Stories

10 The User Story List

11 User Stories

12 The BA s On-going Activities Daily Stand Up & Follow Up Spontaneous and As Needed Meetings with Stakeholders Monitor Development Work Respond to QA Multi-Tasking Working The Open Issues UAT Preparation Weekly Demo Prep Research User Stories for Next Iterations Maintain Project Wiki

13 The Backlog Story/Task Board

14 User Story Cards

15 Behind The Scenes Activities Manage Multiple Viewpoints Modeling and Diagrams during Design Discussions SME Intimidated by Developers Backend Process Requirements Rework was Necessary Document Needed During Implementation Compensated for Lack of BA Skills Focus on Exceptions and Alternatives Issue Log (In Scope and Out of Scope Negotiation)

16 New Development Retrospect What Worked Well Access to Software Designers/Architect Iteration Zero Having Agile Coaches Incorporating Lessons Learned Quickly Sponsor Accepted Risk

17 New Development Retrospect What We Could Do Differently Underestimating the Rework Underestimating Backend Processes Managing Unrealistic, Hard Deadlines Addressing People not embracing Agile Handling Process Development Differently Upfront Database schema changes

18 Maintenance Projects using Agile Semi- Weekly Deploy & Retrospectives Iteration 0 Not Applicable Weekly Stakeholder Demos Initial Backlog Sprint Not Applicable Daily Scrum Team Meetings Semi Weekly Sprint Planning Meetings

19 The Maintenance Project Parameters Developer Initiative 2 Week Iterations As Needed Requirements or Just In Time Not Co-located Semi-Weekly Demos Semi-Weekly Planning Sessions Business was not Agile PM tolerated Agile but was not Agile No executive sponsor for Agile

20 The BA s Activities 2 Week Iterations As-Needed / Just-In-Time Requirements Semi-Weekly Demos Semi-Weekly Planning Sessions Provided Documentation to the Business Facilitated Demos Unofficially attended stand ups Unofficially attended sprints

21 Maintenance Project - Retrospect What Worked Well: Developers Fully Engaged User Involvement Early and Often Cohesive Team

22 Maintenance Project - Retrospect What Could Have Been Done Different: Executive Sponsor Buy In Realistic Dates Appreciations of Burn down and Velocity Dysfunctional Organization Developers Input Respected
