EVOLVING ROLE OF THE BUSINESS ANALYST IN AN AGILE ENVIRONMENT
High-Tech companies have started adapting themselves into an agile atmosphere for a while now. Today everybody has heard of agile methodologies and they are treated as the life savers of project teams.
The change is not very straightforward and there are some barriers like company culture, learning curves, human psychology, misinterpretation of techniques, business demands etc depending on your project.
In this very sensitive environment BA still has the key responsibility and adapts its abilities to this challenging and changing dynamics according to the needs. There is not only one correct approach in this adaptation. There can be many different techniques, different styles to achieve the agile workforce in the team. BAs naturally adapting themselves and evolving themselves with the help of this new way of working.
We had the chance to make the observation of using agile approach in different delivery teams in Sony. This way helped us to gain agile experience in our multicultural and international environment and taking the lead in our own company. This success has also encouraged us using different methodologies in our team like devops as well.
