Topic: “PMs and BAs: Perfect Together”

Join Pam and Yaaqub to learn the “Five Pillars of a Great BA” and how to Engage Most Effectively with Your BAs. Yamo’s recent publication The Five Pillars of a Great Business Analyst is available for free download here.

Business Analysts are at the heart of improvement and change in an organization. The Business Analyst plays a crucial role in a team that does the analysis, assessment and execution of change – be it process related, operational and/or technological in nature. They are also increasingly embedded in the growing use of technology in organizations and its inherent complexity in the context of an intricate business environment.

The role of a Business Analyst has gone through a gradual metamorphosis in the past decade. With increased awareness and realization that a BA can be more valuable if leveraged properly, Project Managers can benefit from understanding how to interface most effectively with this critical team member.

Join us to discuss how BA’s and PMs can be “Perfect Together” from the perspective of a passionate Business Analyst who is rapidly becoming a thought leader and mentor in his profession.

Speaker: Yaaqub Mohamed (Yamo) is a practicing business analysis Consultant based in Toronto, Canada and author of the popular blog and podcasts at The BA Coach. He has extensive experience in software development and has worked in a variety of diverse domains. He holds a major in Computer Science (B.

Online Webinar
Duration: 1 hour webinar Credits: 1 PDU Category A – $5 USD PDU
Presented by: Solutions Cube Group (REP 2451)

As much as 68% of projects fail either outright or because their success is compromised in some manner – over budget, behind schedule or failing to deliver expected outcomes. Project teams may find a lack of clarity in the project management processes they are expected to follow or a lack of support from the Project Management team.

In order to set the stage for project success, it is critical for the best projects to be selected. Projects should clearly address the objectives of the organization, offer skills to be available to the project team for gathering and clarifying customer expectations, and identify, assess and appropriately manage all risks.

Solutions Cube Group’s webinars address many relevant project issues and close the gap between project theory and practical application. View this presentation to learn insight for both the Project Management team and project team stakeholders regarding key tools and techniques they can employ immediately to increase the success of their project outcomes.

In this overview level recorded Webinar participants will:

  • Understand how to ensure each project fits with and supports the corporate strategy
  • Recognize when requirements fit within in the scope of the project effort and clearly recognize the needs of the project stakeholders
  • Understand the success factors for effective Risk Management.
