A Professional Clarity Framework for Business Analysts Navigating Complexity - May 12th
Join the IIBA Ottawa-Outaouais, Palmetto, Nova Scotia, and DC Metro Chapters for our Lunch & Learn session as we explore a practical, technique-driven approach to navigating complexity as a Business Analyst. Whether you work in agile, hybrid, or traditional environments, this session gives Business Analysts a tool to improve decision-making, professional growth, stakeholder decision-making, and alignment.
BAs who cling to a purely documentation-focused role risk becoming invisible in the very projects they should be leading. The real question is no longer "What do you document?" - it is "What value do you architect?"
In this session, Samiul Syed (CBAP®, ITIL®) draws on 15+ years of hands-on experience across financial services, and post-secondary education to show what it truly means to be a BA who drives outcomes; not just requirements.
The IIBA Ottawa-Outaouais Chapter invites you to our Career & Networking Fair, a full-day gathering for business analysts at different stages of their professional journey. Join us for workshops, panel discussions, professional headshots, and networking with peers, chapter leaders, and members.
Data flow diagrams, brainstorming, organization modeling, workshops, root cause analysis. Which are your go-to techniques for business analysis? In the May 2026 session, we will turn our focus on the list of Techniques, the tenth chapter of the BABOK®.
