The workshop focused on the emerging role of business and systems analysts in the times of Agile development methodologies. Participants were led through the evolution of traditional software development practices and how business analysts had been developing, and managing requirements in the past.

We touched upon the emerging concepts and practices of agile development such as SCRUM, user stories and Kanban. The workshop ended with cases and examples on how the newer role of business analyst is similar to that of the product owner in the agile projects.
