 On July 16th, 2008 the BA Collective announced the BA Collective Video Webcast Series. The series is a new resource and will provide another dimension to our business analysis articles by providing an additional format to receive information, education and news from the BA Collective. The Business Analysis Video Webcast Series was developed together by the BA Collective and Collective Genius.
The video webcasts will focus on current and past articles to provide a new format and learning resource for our Business Analysis Community. In developing the video webcasts, we hope to provide another free, educational resource for you, the BA. We believe this is the next step in the evolution of the BA Collective that will continue to push our community forward in our goal to create a gathering place for like-minded professionals dedicated to the practice of business analysis.
The first in the series video webcasts will introduce people to the BA Collective. In this video, we discuss the reason we created the BA Collective and our mission of both the BA Collective and Collective Genius, to bridge the gap between the need for professional and experienced Business Analysts and the projects that need them. We hope facilitating the BA Collective and additional resources like the BA Collective Webcast will accomplish this mission.
Our second BA Collective Webcast Video focuses on use cases. This video was created to coordinate with Use Case Classics, an article written by one of Collective Genius’ founders, Andrew Kass. The article was largely written from a speech that Andrew gave to the IIBA – Twin Cities. Use Case Classics was developed to reinforce the importance of use cases and to encourage business analysts, who normally wouldn’t utilize use cases, to give them a try. Both the video webcast and Andrew’s article give you an overview of use case terminology and emphasize the importance of using the proper process and methodology that is right for you and the environment that you are in.
Stay tuned to the release of the third BA Webcast coming soon, where we tackle the topic of documentation. Documentation is all around us and whether it is done correctly or not is a direct reflection of the person who writes the documentation: the BA. The webcast has some great tips on how to know whether your documentation is done correctly or not, so stay tuned to the BA Collective for our Documentation webcast and many more!
