What can Business Analysis and Agile mean for each other? Presenting the Agile extension to the Business Analysis Body of Knowledge

The International Institute of Business Analysis (IIBA) has created the Business Analysis Body of Knowledge (BABoK?) to capture the experience of business analysts worldwide on a wide set of projects. According to the BABoK?, "Business analysis is the set of tasks and techniques used to work as a liaison among stakeholders in order to understand the structure, policies, and operations of an organization, and to recommend solutions that enable the organization to achieve its goals."

Meanwhile, Agile methods, with their own methods of understanding needs and proposing solutions, have been sweeping through many companies.

Is there room for business analysis on Agile projects? Can agile teams learn from business analysts? What happens when business analysts work in Agile teams?

The IIBA has started up a workgroup to create an "Agile extension" to the BABoK?. This extension will provide practical guidance to do business analysis in Agile projects, based on experience. We'll present this effort so that both communities can review and contribute to this project.

If you want to participate in the discussion, join the Agile BA Yahoo group.
