Response: Certainly, Avi. During my time at GCS in collaboration with IIBA, we adopted Agile methodologies to streamline the planning and execution of our events, including webinars, monthly meetups, and the annual conference. One specific project where Agile business analysis played a key role was in organizing the IIBA annual conference, which involved multiple stakeholders across various chapters in India, such as Chennai, Hyderabad, Bangalore, and Delhi.

We used Jira as our primary tool for managing tasks and tracking progress. I worked closely with stakeholders, including chapter presidents, secretaries, the IIBA India advisor, and regional directors. My role involved gathering requirements from these stakeholders, prioritizing tasks, and ensuring that the deliverables aligned with the overall objectives of the event.

In terms of Agile methodologies, we followed Scrum practices. We conducted regular sprint planning sessions to break down the project into manageable tasks, held daily stand-ups to ensure alignment, and used sprint retrospectives to continuously improve our processes. I also facilitated backlog grooming sessions to prioritize tasks based on the needs of the stakeholders and the event timelines.

By applying Agile principles, we were able to adapt quickly to changes, ensure stakeholder engagement, and deliver a successful event that met the expectations of all involved. This experience reinforced the importance of flexibility and collaboration in managing complex projects.
