Early Bird Pricing Ends January 31, 2025 | The Lean and Agile mindsets and their practices give the Business Analyst new and powerful tools for quickly determining precisely what to build. Traditional system-development methodologies are just not responsive enough to the ever increasing pace of change. Building a system based on yesterday’s needs is not a success even if delivered on time and on budget. This indispensable course explores the critical need for good requirements development in an Agile environment and equips business analysts with the critical thinking, analytical skills, and necessary people skills they need to add value to every Agile project.
This practical workshop provides participants with an understanding of the changing role of the business analyst as a co-creator of requirements rather than as an order taker. Participants learn the tools and techniques best suited to Agile, and the timing for performing key tasks and events. Explanatory, demonstrations, and practice exercises will provide you with the experience needed to create user stories that meet business needs.
The International Consortium for Agile has worked with experts around the world to develop an education roadmap of training and certification for all specialties involved in Agile development. This course has been approved and earns students the ICAgile Certified Professional in Business Value Analysis designation upon successful completion of the course.
Completion of this workshop satisfies part of the requirements for IC-Agile’s ICP-APO certification. This course qualifies for 14 PDHs/CDUs for all IIBA® certifications.

Early Bird Pricing Ends February 14, 2025 | Begin adopting the core competencies of the Agile coach profession, and start enabling transformational outcomes within your organization.
A coach's primary goal is to enhance their client's awareness of practice and behavior — enabling and empowering the client to realize objectives that may be just outside of their reach. Through thoughtful and deliberate engagement, the coach strives to enhance, in a measurable and sustainable fashion, team practices in order to provide focus on the business goals and objectives of the team and organization. Whether the coach is internal or external to the organization, coaching covers a broad spectrum of teaching, mentoring, problem-solving, planning, leadership, team-building, and mastery of skills and knowledge.
Coaches must challenge organizations to change the culture — establishing new paradigms — which permit agile-lean thinking and quickly deliver value. A coach must be competent, professional, and ethical — having business and technical knowledge and an understanding of change and the impact it has on individuals and organizations. This course is designed to teach, practice, and reinforce the core coaching competencies of the Agile coach, enabling the Agile coach to succeed at reaching agreed-upon team and organizational outcomes.
This course has been approved by ICAgile to award students the Certified Professional in Agile Coaching (ICP-ACC) upon successful completion. This course qualifies for 12 PDHs/CDUs for all IIBA® certifications.

data
In an age where data is the lifeblood of modern organizations, the need for robust data governance has never been more critical. Yet, as history has shown, adopting significant change can be quite challenging. This session draws compelling comparisons to the Meiji Restoration, which launched Japan into the modern era, urging participants to reevaluate their data management strategies. Just as the Meiji leaders enacted transformative reforms to advance their nation, contemporary business leaders must be prepared to evolve and innovate to fully leverage their data strategic capabilities.
Through engaging real-life case studies and insightful discussions, attendees will discover the essential elements of creating a data governance framework grounded in the five rhyming cornerstones of embracing integrity, pacing infrastructure, chasing insight, facing impediments, and racing implementation. By learning to avoid expensive data silos and utilize information as a competitive edge, this session offers a strategic guide for organizations aiming to replicate the Meiji Transformation's spirit of visionary leadership and effective execution. Attendees will leave empowered to spearhead a data governance revolution within their own enterprises, poised to navigate the complexities of the digital age with confidence and clarity.

Gathering Requirements for an Agile Project
Project failures are often due to poor requirements gathering, analysis and planning. Traditional requirements documents may not contain complete and accurate requirements due to rapidly changing business environments. Agile requirements gathering, by moving detailed requirements closer to implementation, allows for rapid response to change. "Collaborating and Communicating Agile Requirements" will show you how to gather and manage these requirements.
Organizing and Managing Requirements
Traditional requirements are documented in a requirements specification. Changes to the requirements are managed through a change process. This course will demonstrate alternative ways of documenting requirements and managing changes. These alternatives can allow for a less "heavy" process in projects that can benefit from quick changes in direction.
Discover Real-World Techniques

We ask students to begin studying early so it is a good idea to be registered at least one week prior to the first session. Register two weeks prior to the first session to take advantage of the Early Bird pricing. Students will be provided with course material.
This study group is an instructor-led course by instructors from the Bluegrass IIBA Chapter.

ba book nook
Join us for our interactive author discussion series, BA Book Nook. Get ready for an exciting new event series from Bluegrass IIBA Chapter! BA Book Nook offers a unique opportunity to explore the world of business analysis through intimate conversations with leading authors in the field.
Join Steph Hawkins, our Vice President of Community Outreach and Engagement, as she hosts engaging discussions that go beyond traditional book talks. Each session features an in-depth conversation with an author about their work, exploring not just the concepts in their books, but also diving into their personal journey, motivations, and vision for the business analysis profession.
Each BA Book Nook session is designed to be interactive and engaging. While Steph leads the conversation, you'll have plenty of opportunities to ask questions, share your thoughts, and engage directly with our featured authors. Whether you're a seasoned BA professional or just starting your journey, your voice and perspective matter in this discussion.
Special Guest Author: Yulia Kosarenko, Owner of Why Change Consulting, Inc.
