Where does the role of a Business Analyst end and a Project Manager begin? And what happens when the lines between the two overlap?

Join IIBA Perth at Edith Cowan University’s City Campus for an engaging panel discussion exploring how Business Analysts and Project Managers can work together to deliver successful outcomes. Hear practical lessons and perspectives from experienced practitioners as they unpack common areas of overlap, responsibilities, challenges and opportunities for collaboration.

The discussion will draw on BABOK® Guide v3, with particular relevance to Requirements Analysis and Design Definition, Solution Evaluation and BA techniques.

This session is ideal for anyone curious about Business Analysis or starting their BA career, as well as managers and employers of BAs, Project Managers, Product Owners, Scrum Masters and others who work alongside Business Analysts.

Stay afterwards to connect with fellow professionals over light refreshments and continue the conversation.
