This webinar is an overview of the skills needed to perform cost-benefit analysis and assembling a business case.

Business Analysts have to analyze new opportunities and make the business case for new project initiatives.

Learning objectives include:

• Discover fixed, variable, and other costs and benefits
• Quantify costs and benefits in their present value
• Calculate net present value, net cost-benefit, net risk exposure, and ROI
• Assemble a convincing business case

A common misconception exists among many practitioners who think anAgile approach means abandoning all of the knowledge areas and processes emphasized in the PMBOK® Guide. Nothing could be farther from the truth!

In this compelling presentation, Nancy will use real life examples to verify that core project management principles apply, regardless of the development approach. Leveraging the best of both the PMBOK® and Agile methods can deliver the highest value.

By attending, you will learn:

• How both traditional & Agile methods & techniques complement each other
• When to use traditional vs. Agile methods
• How to use “Achieved Value” (AV) instead of “Earned Value” (EV) to measure the value of project delivery
