SUMMARY:Automating fit-for-purpose analysis
DESCRIPTION:In this month’s meetup we have Marcio Sete coming to the combined Aus / NZ meetups to talk about fit for purpose analysis. \nYou might have been hearing for years about the importance of clearly understanding who your customers are\, their purpose for consuming your services\, and their service level expectations. \nIf you don’t understand that and your service level\, you are probably flying blindly. \nThink about that; if what success looks like is not clear\, explicit and measurable\, how can you expect your teams to improve? “If you don’t know where you are going\, any road will get you there.” Lewis Carroll \nThis webinar will explore advanced customer-centric and flow-based metrics and how to automate fit-for-purpose analysis for your teams and services using the data you already have in your existing boards. You can expect lots of new concepts\, discussions\, and actionable insights. \n\n\nThis is a Melbourne-based virtual event starting at 4:00pm AEDT and registration is required for attendance.

SUMMARY:Creating Requirements During Times of Constant Change with Pamela Paterson
DESCRIPTION:About this event\n  \n\n\nTopic: Creating Requirements During Times of Constant Change \nAs business analysts\, we are known for being experts at identifying and managing business requirements. But\, how should our most notable skills be adapted as COVID-19 has the world around us going through constant change? The remote BA cannot depend upon “hallway” networking and face-to-face interpersonal skills. A completely remote or hybrid environment can block the flow of communication with our stakeholders. Furthermore\, as the financial markets fluctuate\, business priorities are encountering unexpected shifts. There is a need for the BA to have a sense of personal agility\, whether their workplace culture is agile or not. And although always important\, requirements traceability is now more important than ever. Amid business disruption\, the BA needs to track requirements changes using the best practices and tools at their disposal. So\, how can a BA\, whether remote or not\, continue to deliver the value expected in requirements creation and maintenance amid this constant change? Join us and learn the answers. \nLearning Objectives: \nHow to overcome remote communication blockers \nHow to incorporate personal agility into requirements elicitation and management \nHow to use best practices and tools to maintain requirements traceability \n  \nKey Point: \nRequirements elicitation is different now due to increased remote working—let’s reconfigure how we elicit requirements with our stakeholders. \n  \nThis presentation will be in American English. \n  \nSchedule: \n7:30 pm – 7:55 pm PHT – Networking and Refreshments \n7:55 pm – 8:00 pm PHT – Chapter News \n8:00 pm – 9:00 pm PHT – Program \n  \nPresented by: Pamela Paterson\, BJ\, MS\, CBAP\, LEAN Six Sigma

SUMMARY:Project Management with Kanban
DESCRIPTION:Nowadays\, in the context of changing customer demand and rapid technology progress\, project organisations have to develop the competencies that allow them to adapt and thrive. \nThe Kanban practices\, appropriately integrated with those of PMBOK or another project management method\, strengthen the communication\, team management\, planning\, monitoring and risk management skills of the project managers. This allows them and their teams to conduct projects with greater agility and confidence. \nThe Kanban Maturity Model describes an evolutionary approach to introducing the Kanban practices for project management. \nIn addition\, it does it in parallel with the development of a culture of transparency\, collaboration and alignment around the business purpose. \nIn this meetup Teodora Bozheva will present the basics of project management with Kanban and how to gradually develop them through the Kanban Maturity Model.

SUMMARY:Building Business Analysis At Scale
DESCRIPTION:Business Analysis is a framework for solving business problems and capitalising on opportunities – enabling business to turn ideas to revenue\, strategy to customer service\, vision to product & strategy to implementation. \nMany organisations struggle to scale their business analysis services creating bottlenecks in software initiatives or worse\, resorting to subpar capability to plug ‘gaps’ creating far greater problems for organisations. \nIn this panel discussion\, IIBA and BAPL will discuss the importance and process of building business analysis at scale to enable organisations to be both agile and successful in software delivery.

SUMMARY:What is Agile 2? An introduction discussion
DESCRIPTION:The Agile movement took us away from big up-front plans\, micromanagement\, and projects-by-numbers. It shifted the focus from big initiatives to small teams\, from big promises to incremental deliveries\, and from handoffs between specialists to collaboration and self-sufficiency. \nBut it dismissed the importance of leadership\, structure\, forethought\, and individual differences. It defined one-size-fits-all practices\, often favoring some styles of work over others\, and too often defined by frameworks or methodologies that were pushed in an all-or-nothing way by their most ardent advocates. Despite its technical roots\, Agile also quickly devalued the importance of engineering; and it did not even mention the importance of information and data – things that were strategically important when Agile was born and are even more so today. \nThese are not small things. We therefore realized that a fresh start was needed – not an incremental one: a start that is informed by the first Agile experiment\, but that does not hesitate to make major departures: a new beginning. We call it Agile 2. \nHosted by Murray Robinson\, Co-author of Agile 2 – https://agile2.net/

SUMMARY:Short talks: Remote Agile + What a Masterful Scrum Master does
DESCRIPTION:— Agenda —\n5:20pm (AEST) Join the call for informal networking\n5:30pm Welcome & speaker introduction\n5:35pm Presentation from Allison\n5:55pm Initial Q&A with Allison\n6:05pm Presentation from Rowan\n6:25pm Q&A with both speakers\n6:50pm Close \n— Talk 1: Remote Agile with Allison Arandez —\nIs it possible to successfully work in Agile with remotely distributed teams? \nThe pandemic has forced many office based organisations to find a way to continue their IT projects via distributed teams. We know this is not ideal for Agile teams to work remotely especially at the beginning of any project. I’d like to share my experiences about how the organisation I work for has worked remotely for over 15 years and how we managed to transition our delivery operations to an Agile way of working in the last few years. \n-Learn how to prepare your teams\, stakeholders and clients to transition and work successfully in an Agile environment\n-Challenges and successes along the way\n-How you can maintain team motivation and success long after the hype of the transition to Agile \n— Talk 2: What a Masterful Scrum Master does with Rowan Bunning — \nAre you trapped in a hamster wheel of meetings\, updating tracking tools\, trying to keep stories progressing and generally being the “Scrum secretary” for everything that others are not doing themselves? Whilst you might be aware that this is not the most effective way to spend your time\, you may not know how to transition out of this situation and what the more impactful activities are to transition to. \nIn this session we will explore what the most effective Scrum Masters and Agile Coaches focus on as well as some strategies for freeing up your time and building your skills in order to make a much bigger difference for your Scrum Team and surrounding organisation.

SUMMARY:Continuous Improvement: Beyond Retros
DESCRIPTION:We seem to try to foster a mindset of continuously and relentlessly striving for improvement with mainly one practice: retrospectives. For years\, retros have been our default – and often our only – continuous improvement tool. Aurelien certainly used to think that retros were the most important ceremony. As a coach\, he previously considered them his main tool to drive improvement. \nIn this talk\, Aurelien prompts us to look beyond retros and explore what other tools (Toyota Kata\, improvement boards\, etc.) and concepts we can explore to foster a continuous improvement mindset. Drawing on his own journey\, Aurelien will share experiments he has conducted and is planning to carry out— discussing what worked for him and\, more importantly\, what hasn’t and where he failed. \nAgenda \n\nIntroductions and Community News ~ 5 mins\nAurelien Beraud – Continuous Improvement: Beyond Retros\nClosing ~ 10 mins\n\nBio\nAurelien Beraud is an Agile Coach with a strong technical and product background. With an unquenchable curiosity\, Aurelien does not shy away from asking way too many questions. He has been a software developer with an extreme focus on giving users what they truly need\, and then became an Agile Coach who focuses on helping teams and organisations find ways of working that best fit them.  He believes in data and scientific research over opinions and tries to understand human beings and their weird behaviours by delving into cognitive science and getting a deeper understanding of the brain.

SUMMARY:Systems Thinking: Practical Techniques for Business Agility
DESCRIPTION:The business environment is moving at a rapid pace. More than ever we need the ability to quickly sense and respond to change\, and there is increasing focus on enabling agility within organizations. Achieving agility can be tricky when working in large\, seemingly bureaucratic\, organizations with a whole legacy of technology\, political and process issues that seemingly need resolving. With tricky stakeholders and conflicting perspectives\, change initiatives stall and our organizations risk falling behind market and customer expectations. \nBusiness analysis is a crucial enabler that plays an important part in overcoming these issues and helping organizations strive towards achieving agility. As practitioners we can draw techniques and approaches from the world of systems thinking to help us. \nIn this practical session you will hear: \n• What systems thinking is\, and how it can contribute towards business agility. \n• A practical set of systems thinking techniques that have direct applicability for BAs. \n• How systems thinking naturally fits with an agile BA mindset.
