The document discusses the role of an agile analyst. An agile analyst is different than a traditional analyst in that they have increased stakeholder skills, a stronger focus on benefits, more decision making power, participate in design validation, and are part of the agile team. However, agile analysts are less analytical and produce less documentation. The document provides tips for agile analysts such as focusing on how the team works, using Kanban boards to improve flow, using burn up charts to track projects, and being ready to think differently.
