In this month's newsletter, our Chapter President Ziad Sakr shares why context deserves more attention in business analysis, using a suit-buying example to make his point. Don't miss our busy March calendar with multiple events including our virtual workshop on prompt engineering.
We are excited to announce an in-person career and networking fair for business analysis professionals in the Ottawa-Outaouais region. Your feedback is essential to help us tailor the event to your needs.
Join the IIBA Ottawa-Outaouais, Palmetto, Nova Scotia, and DC Metro Chapters for our Lunch & Learn session as Emily Tom talks about Functional Decomposition. Learn how to see both the big picture and the details at the same time, and apply it directly to your projects.
What does it really mean to be a Business Analyst inside an AI initiative? In this session, Pierre Armand BIKELE will walk us through his own experience - from an initial business need towards a concrete AI solution.
The pilot release of your new solution has recently been implemented. So, how’s that working out for the organization? Is it delivering the value you had anticipated? Is it meeting the expectations of your stakeholders? If not, why not? Perhaps there’s a problem with the solution. Perhaps there’s a problem with the environment. If so, what should be done? In the March 2026 session, we will focus on the Solution and Evaluation knowledge area, the eighth chapter of the BABOK®.
Business analysts are being asked to “use AI,” but most
teams lack a practical way to do it safely and effectively. This interactive workshop teaches prompt engineering fundamentals for elicitation, summaries, requirements, user stories, and analysis. Plus realistic case studies, risk considerations, and a practical approach to getting reliable outputs.
