  • Highlight the importance of business analysis practices in an agile context
  • Show how business analysis is performed in agile lifecycles
  • Offer key principles that should guide business analysis practice in agile environments

As someone that has been working in this space for some time, attempting to adapt my existing skillset and knowledge to an agile environment,

I am really excited. I’m about half way through and I suspect that I’ll read it and re-read it.

It’s exciting to see agile adoption on the increase and this extension book will help BA’s feel equipped to work with developers and clients who are actively using SCRUM, XP or KANBAN.

My hope is to prepare some posts and feedback from what I’ve read in the extension, I’m also keen to see how my own approaches compare to those that have been outlined in the guide.
