Topic: Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe®) Foundations in a BA World
Abstract:
To keep pace with the speed at which consumers are demanding products, many large enterprises are moving in the direction to transform their organizations into an Agile (incremental) way of working, to get to market faster.
How do we do this at scale to get to market faster? Well, the enterprise demands structure above the teams. This is where the Scaled Agile Framework comes in to provide step by step guidelines on how to maximize value at all levels of the organization.
This session will take you through lean agile principles as well as the team, program and portfolio structure to support an agile way of working. This session will also provide insight into how business analysts can assert their value to the organization, from enterprise analysis to user story definition.
