You had some really good questions prepared, mate! Well done. I'm transitioning from ITSM, through agile coaching now to BA and it surprised me to hear that the basic need for structuring through tooling had been underdeveloped for so long. Maybe I have been spoiled form an ITSM perspective, but knowing myself, I would fall in the same trap as apparently has been true for many colleagues and feel disorganized, but most of all the capability to share knowledge and reuse artifacts seem of paramount importance. So great to hear this is on the increase. What I was hoping for, was to learn about more concrete tips to find my way through the different toolings now available, and in my Google search, one of the results brought me here. It gave me more insight into the world of the BA, I will check internally as well; My tendency is to go on a scavenger hunt myself first, to then go with my results to compare notes with others. I will have to reverse that plan of attack for this one ;-)
From my experience, the tool is not the hardest part of implementing Requirements Management. There is a culture shift and basic concepts that must be available. Take a look at this other video that might be useful: thebrazilianba.com/2020/05/21/requirements-management/
@@TheBrazilianBA I will check it out! I agree, culture shift is very important; I have learned over the years that having a solid view on quality of my own process helps me to mitigate the noise that comes up when arguments are being raised to resist change. Even the good kind. And especially quality is a notoriously hard to proof and report on KPI. With tools dedicated to your craft to show e.g. the cost of inaction, or the benefit of certain ways of doing things, when you can speak your own language and your own truth so to speak, making improvements visible is so much easier. Still not a walk in the park but much less wading through oil than without. And I’m looking for it as a placeholder for me to navigate this new realm, I tend to find my way more easily through a structured dedicated tool. Thanks mate and again, great interview!
