New Agile Blog for miahorri

Yes I know i have been quite lately but in recent months. However i have been active again thsi year,  I have changed jobs and started a new blog with my BFF and project partner, Matt Hodgson. Our blog is called - ZenAgile. 

We started the blog as we found ourselves on a difficult project and started to intuitively use our IA user centred design methodologies to cope with a dynamic and changing requirements environment. We discovered later this was called “Agile”.

So what is ZenAgile? Well Zen Agile is a philosophical approach to leading projects and embracing the ever-present flow of changes to project environment.

I am finding that increasingly as an enterprise BA I am often working on large scale projects and because of my PM and business background, am often called upon to be the “Scrum Master” or “Product Champion” for my business client. Agile is a way for me to help manage the changing requirements and juggle the ever present tension between budgets and functionality. Agile helps me to prioritise features and work more closely with the business to achieve their strategic intent and obtain a win/win for all.

So BA rocks might be a bit quite for awhile, but check out my posts on ZenAgile :)
