As a speaker for the Salesforce Business Analyst Virtual Summit- Spring 2020, I presented on Agile , titled “Agile for BAs : 2x results in Half the time”

As part of the session, we covered 4 key topics : Why Agile, What is Agile, Delivering Salesforce with Scrum and User-story guidelines for BAs

As part of “Why Agile” we talked about the common ills that plague our product/software delivery life-cycle — leading to consistent patterns of overtime and stress, delay in deployment leading to financial loss, Requirements constantly changing and churn of project members

As part of the “What is Agile” we discussed about the key factors defining Agile principles — How this is a Mindset change, not just a toolset (JIRA) change but a People, Process and technology change, adaptiveness and using the principles of Lean (with Toyota as the example)

As part of the “Salesforce Delivery model” we reviewed the cadence and artifacts powering a typical Scrum delivery with a hands-on example

And finally as part of the “User Story guidance” we covered the INVEST principle, User Story Hierarchy, Structure of a typical user story and tips on how to writer better user stories
