This month\, we’re talking about the business analyst role on the Agile Team? \;\n \;\n“What?! A business analyst on an Agile Team? ” you may say. Yes\, many companies explicitly call out this role on th e Team to support the Product Owner or draw from a pool of BA’s to fulfi ll the Product Owner function. The questions before us are many: \;\ n \;\nIs this a good idea? \;\nWhat are the costs and benefits? 3\;\nWhen does it make sense? \;\nWhat about role boundaries? Doesn’ t this institute them? \;\nHow come the BA would be on the Team? (som e actually report into a product management function along with the PO’s .) \;\nWhy doesn’t my Team do this? \;\nIsn’t this anti-Agile? \;\n \;\nWell you might ask. Come down and ask it of a bunch of coll eagues primed with questions and answers of their own. \;\n \;\nSa me 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.\n\nTags: agilepdx\n\nImported from: http://calagator.or g/events/1250462914 URL:http://www.mcmenamins.com/257-ringlers-pub-home SUMMARY:AgilePDX Downtown Pub Lunch: BA's on Agile Teams LOCATION:McMenamins Ringlers Pub: 1332 W Burnside St.\, Portland Oregon 9 7209 US SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
