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.
