Feature Injection is the answer to the question "how do we effectively perform business analysis on agile projects?" It is a collection of harvested practices and soft-skills that, when combined, rapidly bring about a shared understanding between the business visionaries and the implementation team. It helps determine which aspects of a new product concept or product enhancement will add the most value to the organisation. It also connects cleanly with Behaviour Driven Development (BDD), one way in which you can clearly describe how that value will manifest itself in the product.

In this 2 day Feature Injection course, developed in conjunction with Chris Matts, the inventor of Feature Injection, you will learn how this method enables and enhances agile business analysis. Feature Injection amplifies the understanding of the real value sought by the business and ensures that the work required to implement the solution can be sliced cleanly into vertical slices of work that is of immediate value to your organisation.

• Pull, from the business, an understanding of the product increments that matter
• Do business analysis that supports incremental and iterative product implementation (e.g. Agile Software Development)
• Understand 3 key different types of value added to an organisation: Value Generation (e.g. increase revenue), Value Protection, Overhead Reduction)
• Determine which type of value that a particular feature provides
• Mine the rich seams of business value using different learning models and approaches
• Use unknown unknowns to identify questions that need answering
• Use known unknowns to identify people who can answer the questions
• Use known knowns to share knowledge
• Use models and examples to help us understand the business domain

Also, learn the answer to the controversial question of where Business Analysis fits into Agile development.
