Support your Agile business user for better project outcomes

Agile developers can access a wide range of resources to help achieve their project goals. By contrast, the Agile business user has very little support despite key responsibilities such as gathering requirements, managing priorities, and acting as a source of business knowledge to ensure the best possible solution. In addition, the business user usually has wider responsibilities that make it difficult to give the project their full attention.

In The Power of the Agile Business Analyst, Jamie Lynn Cooke challenges this approach and questions whether Agile projects run in this way can deliver the highest-value business solutions.

30 ways an Agile business analyst can help

Drawing on her extensive experience, Jamie proposes a new role for Agile projects: the Agile business analyst. She details 30 achievable ways that such a role will increase relevance, quality, and overall business value, and provide business users with crucial support. The Agile business analyst is also a boon to the development team, by being a ready source of business knowledge and ensuring that project outcomes align with requirements.
