Simply put, the Business Analyst’s role can be broken into three components:

  1. Enterprise Analysis,
  2. Process Modeling, and
  3. Requirements Engineering.

Each component can and does bring value to an enterprise organization, especially in the face of outsourcing and rapidly increasing and evolving user needs.

The Agile Framework, with its specific practices around software development, offers a very different approach to project success. One that on initial view reduces the value the BA brings to the enterprise.

The reality is that Agile is pointing a light at a trend in BA work that if continued significantly reduces the value received by the enterprise. That light is that in a vast majority of cases, enterprises have focused the BA role around requirements engineering.

Of the three primary roles, it is the most repeatable and scalable and one that can be measured. The problem it is that it is the one that provides the least value to the enterprise and, ultimately, can be outsourced (under proper conditions).

This presentation looks at:

  1. The current industry perspective and use of the BA and how it was manifested.
  2. The need enterprise organizations have and how the evolution and maturation of the BA can easily fill that role.
  3. The skills needed for a BA to properly fulfill this need and how organizations can effectively hire for or help to develop these skills.

The BA role, is a game changer for an enterprises ability to capture competitive advantage from its IT systems and software. When executed and nurtured, an enterprise can effectively implement the “most” needed tools and systems for its user community to drive customer fulfillment. This presentation talks about how to drive the BA role in that direction.

You will learn:

  • Currently accepted industry practices on BA use
  • The Agile effective, how BA will evolve in an Agile framework
  • The Solution Architect, the next evolution of the BA
  • The skills needed to drive a successful team of BA Solution Architects

En esta ponencia se expone la evolución a la que se ha visto sometido el rol del Project Manager así como las tendencias actuales, cuales son los profesionales del futuro que esperan las Empresas y qué herramientas están en nuestro alcance para estar posicionados.

El estado actual de la disciplina de la Dirección de Proyectos refleja la existencia de una primera revolución en la que se dejaron atrás los tiempos en que era simplemente una subdisciplina de ingeniería y se ha convertido en un modelo que muchas empresas han adoptado para la puesta en marcha de la estrategia, la transformación del negocio, la mejora continua y el desarrollo de nuevos productos.

El futuro del Project Management ha de pasar por una conceptualización más amplia de los proyectos en, al menos, dos direcciones. La primera dirección pasa por evolucionar desde los procesos instrumentales de planificación y control hacia procesos sociales, con una evolución paralela de la figura del Project Manager desde el papel de “controller” y experto a un papel de facilitador e integrador. La segunda dirección tiene que ver con pensar en los proyectos no como sistemas de creación de productos/servicios sino como sistemas de creación de valor.

Los Project Managers nos encontramos en el momento de cambiar nuestra perspectiva y posicionarnos como aquellos profesionales imprescindibles en las organizaciones, para ello debemos conocer el mercado, cuales son los profesionales del futuro que esperan las empresas y qué herramientas están en nuestro alcance para estar posicionados.

No solamente debemos trabajar aquellas habilidades directivas complementarias: liderazgo, técnicas de negociación, visión de negocio, conocimientos en creatividad e innovación… sino que debemos trabajar en nuestro desarrollo profesional como PMs y trasladarlo de la forma adecuada..

Contenido:

  • ¿Qué es un Project Manager?
  • Estado Actual y Futuro de la Dirección de Proyectos
  • Importancia del Project Manager en las Empresas
  • ¿Qué habilidades directivas debemos desarrollar para estar en el mercado?
  • ¿Cómo nos ayudan las redes sociales a estar en el mercado?
