This session introduces “Feature Injection”, a toolkit to help Business Analysts become effective on an Agile Project.
Feature Injection structures the process of “Example” discovery for business analysts so that they can feed directly into a BDD/TDD development process.
Feature Injection consists of…
- Find the Business Value.
- Inject the Features.
- Break the Model to find the Examples.
This is a toolkit based on actual experience of business analysts on Agile projects. Feature Injection is a variant in the TDD / BDD family of tools.
Process/Mechanics
This will be a cut down version of a two day course being developed on the subject.
It will be a mixture of slides, case studies and exercises.
Exercises will include…
- The Broken Picture Telephone Game.
- Using Bad Smells to Model Business Domains.
- Hunt the Value.
- Inject the Features.
- Break the Model.
As an alternative, the session can be run in one hour without the exercises.
A sketch of timings can be given if required.

- Participants will learn how a Business Analyst can work effectively on an Agile project.
