Why AgileBA® ?• One of the most blogged about
areas of Agile
• AgileBA® is based on the DSDM Agile Project Framework, and is complementary to AgilePM®
• Agile is often about Scrum, which has no specific BA role. However, Scrum needs the BA:
– Scrum’s Product Owners need BA skills / BA support to gain best value for the business
– Scrum’s Agile Developers and Testers need BA skills to aid communication and planning
