The Blueprint Revolution: Why SDD is a Business Analyst's new superpower!

Join us at the next BA Breakdown in Manchester for an evening of insight, community, and forward-thinking analysis.
We’ve all been there: a requirement is "signed off," but by the time it reaches the devs, the intent has shifted. Enter Spec-Driven Development (SDD).
We are thrilled to welcome Marius Atkinson Acting Head of Data at Hippo, to explore how moving towards a spec-first approach does more than just sharpen our documentation—it fundamentally evolves the BA role. This session isn’t about adding more "admin" to your plate; it’s about how using specifications as a "single source of truth" can reduce ambiguity, speed up delivery, and open up new strategic opportunities for BAs to lead on service design and technical alignment.
What we’ll cover:
The SDD Shift: Moving from passive requirements to active, executable specifications.
New Horizons: How SDD allows BAs to bridge the gap between user needs and system architecture more effectively than ever.

Know what’s Happening Next — before everyone else does.
