  • There seems to be no BA role in Scrum
  • There is no 'Business Requirements Document'
  • There is no traditional functional spec or use cases
  • It all sounds a bit chaotic

This course is aimed at you. It will give you a thorough grounding in the Roles, Activities and Work Products of Scrum while demonstrating that the traditional BA skills of effective communication, analytical thinking, good documentation and sheer common sense are vital to the Scrum effort.
