The Wizards Saga: The BA Chronicles - Crystals of Clarity and the Requirements Rebellion with Jarod McCarty

This engaging and interactive 40-minute skit-based session blends storytelling, humor, and practical insight to explore the core principles of Business Analysis in a way that is both memorable and actionable. Through a medieval-fantasy narrative, attendees will journey through the essential stages of a successful project: identifying true business needs, engaging stakeholders, eliciting and validating requirements, navigating change, and ultimately delivering measurable business value.

Each “scene” represents a critical Business Analysis competency, illustrated through relatable project challenges and real-world Salesforce experiences. Participants will be prompted to reflect, share, and connect the lessons from the story to their own BA practices.

Attendees will walk away with:

  • A refreshed understanding of the foundational principles of Business Analysis with real-world examples touching each principle.

  • Practical strategies for improving stakeholder engagement and requirement clarity

  • Techniques to reduce project risk and increase user adoption

  • A renewed appreciation for the BA’s role as the bridge between vision and execution

Whether you are a seasoned BA, a Salesforce professional wearing multiple hats, or someone navigating complex transformations, this session will equip you with tools and perhaps a little magic to lead your next quest with confidence.

A completely normal day as a Salesforce Business Analyst.
