This month, we’re talking about the business analyst role on the Agile Team?</p> <p>“What?! A business analyst on an Agile Team?” you may say. Yes, many companies explicitly call out this role on the Team to support the Product Owner or draw from a pool of BA’s to fulfill the Product Owner function. The questions before us are many:</p> <p>Is this a good idea? What are the costs and benefits? When does it make sense? What about role boundaries? Doesn’t this institute them? How come the BA would be on the Team? (some actually report into a product management function along with the PO’s.) Why doesn’t my Team do this? Isn’t this anti-Agile?</p> <p>Well you might ask. Come down and ask it of a bunch of colleagues primed with questions and answers of their own.</p> <p>Same bat time; same bat place: noon on Friday at Ringler’s (not Ringler’s Annex, keep heading east) on Burnside. Good food. Good beer. Good, straight talk.</p> </div> <h3>Links</h3> <ul> <li><a class="url u-url" href="http://www.mcmenamins.com/257-ringlers-pub-home">Website</a></li> </ul> </div>
