Talk at Birmingham User Group done!
I spoke on how the topic of visual storytelling for a cartoonist and a business analyst using the foundation of design thinking. 😍
Discovery to Implementation handoff is key to setting up a project for success, which is the slide on the pic below.
Thank you James Beezley and Leanne Harkin for hosting.
And Darren Ferneyhough ambassador for Shirtforce in the front row giving supportive looks of encouragement! 🥰
It was such a lovely afternoon meeting old friends – Erin Morris Hetty Boardman-Weston Tokeer Ahmed Austin I. ❤️
Then I had to hustle to catch my train to Manchester … Sorry for missing your session Tokeer Ahmed 😭 next time!

Salesforce & Stick Figures: A Business Analyst’s Guide to Visual Storytelling 😊
309 miles. 2 User Groups. 1 day!!!
Tomorrow (Thursday) I’ll be doing a mini-tour across Ye Olde Englande.
Just a teeny weeny one. 😁
I’ll be driving up to speak at the Birmingham UG in the afternoon and then taking the train to do the same at the Manchester UG in the evening (I know I know – I’ve been told I’m short of a few marbles). 😀
Also apparently Manchester U will be playing at Old Trafford for the UEFA cup so I’ve been advised to avoid the roads for my sanity.
Which is why I shall be car-ing and train-ing. 🚗🚂
Looking forward to seeing new friends like Ben Duong (ok new-ish 😁) and reconnecting with old friends like Tokeer Ahmed.
See you there?

Here Matthew Morris links the role hiearachy into the data model because it allows the questions like who is doing what and who needs access to what.
The other key p iece of information is volume of data – whether there is volatility in transactions so that non functional requirements and design can be done correctly.

Matthew Morris shows how
Matthew Morris shows how the Role Hierarchy diagram is a starter for conversation because it’s like an org chart – but the same.
This usually requires iteration as stakeholders discuss their role and allows a visual representation of their world for them to clarify exactly what they do so that the system can be designed correctly.

Reading a case study scenario for anyone on their #JourneyToCTA and sketching diagrams as you go through the text will mean you can quickly connect the dots and understand the situation without having to re-read the source documentation.
Also great tip when trying to capture info during a live workshop.
Key tips – use client’s words, e.g. “Deal” instead of “Opportunity”, and then you can review it later

If you’re a BA and you’re in Salesforce and you’re not here… WHY NOT?!
You’re missing some valuable nuggets!
A crucial skill in the #JourneyToCTA is the ability to quickly extract information from scenario and diagram current state and future state.
Diagrams help to quickly navigate into key information in the scenario, which helps for those with visual brains. Like me. 🙋🏻♀️
