Join the Bluegrass IIBA Chapter for an engaging lunch hour focused on enhancing your business analysis toolkit! Our expert-led session will feature a hands-on demonstration of a practical BA technique you can apply to your work immediately. Projects often struggle not because of missing requirements, but because business and delivery teams do not share the same understanding of how a process or system actually works. Event Storming is a highly collaborative workshop technique that helps teams uncover this shared understanding quickly and visually. In this Lunch n’ Learn session, participants will learn how Business Analysts can use Event Storming to explore complex processes, align stakeholders, and surface gaps, assumptions, and risks early. The session explains when Event Storming is most effective, how to prepare and facilitate it, and how BAs can adapt the technique for different audiences — from business stakeholders to technical teams. Through practical examples, the talk demonstrates how Event Storming helps teams clarify workflows, identify key business events, and create a common language across roles. Participants will leave with a clear understanding of how to run a lightweight Event Storming session and how to use its outcomes to support discovery, requirements definition, and better decision-making. Presented by: Nastassia Shahun, Business Analyst, Product Owner, Mentor | Tuesday, April 14, 2026; 12:00 PM EDT | Virtual presentation | Hosted by Bluegrass IIBA Chapter

In this session, you will learn:

  • A practical framework for facilitating your first Event Storming session (yes, even next week if you want)
  • Concrete strategies for surfacing hidden assumptions, risks, and gaps before they become expensive problems
  • Adaptation techniques for tailoring Event Storming to different audiences—from the C-suite to the development team
  • Real-world examples showing how Event Storming clarifies workflows and creates a common vocabulary across silos
  • Confidence to run lightweight sessions that drive discovery, sharpen requirements, and lead to better decisions faster

Bring your lunch and your questions! Our interactive format ensures you'll walk away with actionable insights and practical knowledge of a useful business analysis technique.
