ICAgile Agile Project and Delivery Management

Relevant roles include Project Managers, Scrum Masters, Business Analysts, Product Owners, Product Managers or other team members interested in Agile Project Management.

The Agile Business Analyst
An intense but fun 2-day course.
Far from becoming irrelevant, Business Analyst roles are paying more than ever and often more secure than other positions. Become a high-income earner with globally relevant knowledge and skills.
Highly relevant in an Agile environment, Business Analysis is a sought-after skill that adds tremendous value to organizations, projects and teams.
We are working in an increasingly VUCA world (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous), and Business Analysis (BA) skills are in demand.
Gone are the days of the “frozen” 1200-page requirements documents that can’t cope in this new world where changes happen daily. Where does the BA fit into all of this? Agile doesn’t list the Business Analyst as an essential role – what now?
Come along to fun-filled two days of intense learning and group activities and take away with you marketable and applicable skills.
Working with Agile Teams
This is an intense full-day or half-day session with leaders, project managers, product owners and managers, and others who wish to work alongside agile teams. We can discuss the best direction with you for this allowing your organisation to understand what is needed to lead and work with agile teams. These sessions are both instructional and conversational to ensure that you come away with practical examples and understanding to make the best of the agile team.
Aimed at organisations wanting to enhance and empower their teams to deliver faster with less project risk and increased team morale. Teams will be able to cope with changing priorities and requirements while still delivering.
With so much change, how can we guarantee delivery? What happens to scope? What about working to contracts? How do we stop projects from overrunning? But we need a plan. How do we know we are on the right track with all this change? But Agile is just doing projects in small increments, right? All these questions and others can be discussed in a practical session where you will come away with confidence and understanding to help teams deliver in an agile way.

Feedback from Past Attendees
- Of all the courses I’ve attended in my BA career, the Business Value Analysis course was one of the best yet! Not only was the content informative and held the right depth for all abilities, Steve was one of the most engaging and professional facilitators I’ve yet seen. His ability to maintain momentum whilst being able to support with real-world examples was impressive. Even when tackled with challenging questions, he was able to draw upon his expertise to explain in a practical and calm way how a scenario may work. I would thoroughly recommend this course for all would be agilists and Business Analysts alike. Even if you’re a seasoned BA, the course helps refresh some of the basics you may have forgotten. – Peter, Statistics NZ
