The overwhelming number of meetings is a common pain point in the IT industry. And a systems analyst often serves as the communication hub within the team. All this leads to the fact that the analyst has less time to work on current tasks, a lot of time is spent on working out requirements, and engagement decreases.

The goal of this talk is to present a practical tool that helps systems analysts address these challenges.

The talk will begin with a brief introduction to the speaker and an overview of common issues and their impact on analysts’ work. Thereafter, a specific solution and its effectiveness through real-world use cases will be demonstrated.  This will be followed by a review of ready-to-use templates that you can apply in your own work. The talk will conclude with an implementation roadmap and a discussion of outcomes.

This talk will be especially useful for analysts of all levels, and may also be of interest to product owners.

The IT sphere is becoming more and more popular every year, which leads to an increase in the number of specialists. Before becoming a senior specialist, you need to go the way of a junior, when there are more questions than answers, and doubts and worries frighten and may not allow you to move on. 

The purpose of this talk is to tell junior specialists what difficulties they may face, how to deal with them and share junior's personal experience on the example of the big feature “Women's Calendar” from the system analysis perspective. 

It’s planned to introduce the speaker, briefly tell about the feature (the talk is based on its example), to sort out what difficulties can be hidden behind a big feature, and what potential fears and worries there may be. 

It’s planned to discuss how to deal with fears and worries, and consider the compiled checklists. 

The talk will be useful not only for junior systems analysts and specialists from other fields, but also for their mentors and leaders.
