Agile Information Management
Agile development models include just in time information gathering processes. Agile information gathering processes include rapid collection of content and the clear appearance of the resulting documents. Collecting technical business requirements and immediately folding them into the client template is an agile information management method.
Business Analyst Teams need to capture requirements as they are clarified. This is especially important when:
1. The deliverable is the requirement document first and foremost
2. The outline for documenting incoming requirements already exists
3. Tight deadlines exists and there is any risk of delays in documentation, or in overlapping out-of-date information being presented to the client–
4. Or if the document control tool, which is commonly used for working together interactively, is flakey and as a result document versions may become dated
It is not an agile process to wait to add known requirements. For example having project management, or development directing a business analyst to wait until later to add or modify incoming requirements prior to a document presentation. It makes sense to put the correct and current requirements into the current document. It is more logical to keep found things found by categorizing them immediately.
1. It is a waste of time and money, searching when editing the same document repeatedly, or by different individuals, when the requirement should be added on the fly
2. It is frustrating for the BA, it is frustrating for the client when they read out of date requirements
3. It creates unnecessary control issues
4. It runs counter to the clients’ actual needs and requests
5. It isn’t agile any more, it is an outdated technique
Presentation of business requirements is 50% of the job of development consulting, that is, what a document actually looks like really matters to governance and business people
1. Because they spend all their time in documents, generally they want them to look familiar and be formatted correctly, so it makes sense to use their templates
2. They care about documentation, and that is your value to them
3. Your clients will never have your depth of knowledge regarding technology, which means you will have to explain your processes and reasons if you do it any other way (slowing the process down) besides using their processes and procedures
4. The business and governance or project management office people will participate in decision making about actually building the project, or not, and you want them to want to work with you, by showing that you will work with them!

At VFS Digital Design, we teach agile project management practices throughout the entire year. And what better way to refresh everyone's recollection of the 9 knowledge areas (scope, time, cost, human resources, procurement, risk, quality, communication and integration) than with a game!
The students were divided into four teams and briefed on a project they had just "won”. Using index cards and post-it notes the students were asked to record the goals, objectives, work breakdown structure including time allotted for major tasks, resources, and the risks of their respective projects and post them on the wall.

We went to the Dog Agility Trials the other weekend.
This afternoon, Kristen set this up (quite a course) and is out there training Sunny to run the course.
This child has so much self-motivation, it amazes me!
Sunny is catching on fast too!
I guess Kristen was really paying attention to things at the show, each time Sunny runs the course, she praises him and gives him a treat! =)
*** And then there's Cocoa -in the background- waiting for a treat as well…..for doing NOTHING!
Gotta love dachshunds!!!

After my dog training class today, I hung around a snapped a few pictures of some dogs doing an outdoor agility class. I always enjoy an opportunity to practice shooting some really fast action....and these dogs move FAST. Kodi was a great model and did an awesome job completing everything that her handler asked.
Here's a link to the greatest dog training facility around...
