Join us for Happy Hour!

Everything is on fire, every stakeholder is clamoring for their thing to be prioritized first, and every leader wants to know why theirs is not. There are lots of ways to prioritize a backlog, but the weighted shortest job first (WSJF) method offers ways to find the "low hanging fruit" that delivers the most value to the stakeholders in the shortest amount of time.

In today’s fast-paced and complex work environment, the quality of your questions often determines the quality of your outcomes. Yet, many professionals default to familiar, reactive, or overly narrow questions, missing opportunities to create clarity, strengthen relationships, and drive meaningful progress. In your world of business analysis, the quality of your questions directly shapes the quality of your insights, relationships, and outcomes. As an experienced business analyst, you too can fall into patterns of asking safe, surface-level, or overly solution-focused questions, missing opportunities to uncover what truly matters to your stakeholders.

The most scarce resource in modern work isn’t time—it’s attention. Yet many of us unintentionally give ours away through over-commitment, reactive communication, and porous boundaries. Let's reframe “no” as a strategic skill that strengthens performance, prevents burnout, and enables high-value work. We'll learn proven techniques for calendar protection, streamlined communication habits, and intentional time design. You'll walk away with practical steps to reclaim your headspace and flourish.

Emal will present a talk dedicated to teaching business analysts the core principles behind high-performance business analysis and how AI fits into the world of the high performer.
