About BAistanbul Conference

In recent years, with the Agile approach, we have evolved from process-oriented to value-oriented. Our daily work has become more transparent, team spirit has become more critical than hierarchy, and we have become more responsive to change. In order to adopt all Agile principles and execute the techniques and agile analysis approach correctly, the delegation of roles and responsibilities in the organization should be done carefully. At this point, IIBA has recently published “Product Ownership Analysis” to define how the business analysis areas under the responsibility of both the Product Owner and the Business Analyst should be in good practices.

As BA-Works, we organize the BAistanbul Conference every year by focusing on the issues that need to be discussed in the business analysis context. Every year, we aim to create more value than the previous year. In this direction, we have determined our theme as “Product Ownership & Agile Analysis” for the BAistanbul 2021 Conference, which will be held on December 7-8, to address current viewpoints and discussions.

Curious about how business analysis  practices can enhance the quality of outcomes? Great chance to find out at BAistanbul 2021 conference! BAistanbul is the first and only International Business Analysis Conference in Turkey & South East Europe, and hosted by BA-Works. BAistanbul hosted lots of world renown keynotes & speakers. Conference creates a global platform for business analysts and business units; makes it possible to network and interact with people from all around the world.
