The technique used to categorize stakeholders according to their level of involvement in the project is the Power/Interest Grid. This technique is essential for identifying which stakeholders need to be managed closely and which can be monitored with less effort. The grid categorizes stakeholders based on their power to influence the project and their interest in the project's success. This categorization helps in devising appropriate stakeholder management strategies by assessing their power and interest levels and planning interactions accordingly.

An Agile project environment requires stakeholders to exhibit trust and partnership. Agile methodologies emphasize collaboration, transparency, and mutual respect between the project team and stakeholders. This collaborative approach ensures that stakeholders are actively involved in the project, contributing their insights and feedback, which is vital for the project's success. Stakeholders are expected to work closely with the project team, share information openly, and trust the team's decisions, fostering a partnership that supports the project's goals.

The principle that 'the Agile BA should do enough to move on, and no more' directly relates to the DSDM (Dynamic Systems Development Method) principle of 'Deliver on time.' This principle emphasizes the importance of maintaining strict deadlines and delivering products within the agreed-upon timeframe. The idea is to prioritize work based on its necessity for the current iteration and ensure that the team does not spend excessive time on tasks that are not immediately essential. This approach helps in preventing scope creep and ensures that the project remains on track.

In the context of Agile, this principle aligns with the practice of iterative development, where each iteration is timeboxed, meaning it has a fixed duration. The goal is to produce a potentially shippable product increment at the end of each iteration. By doing just enough to move forward, the team ensures that they can deliver valuable functionality within each timebox, thus adhering to the principle of 'Deliver on time.'

A Business Domain Model typically shows the following elements:

Classes: Represent the entities or objects in the business domain.

Associations: Describe the relationships between classes.

Multiplicities: Indicate the number of instances in a relationship between classes.

Actors, which represent roles played by users or other systems that interact with the system, are not typically shown in a Business Domain Model. They are usually depicted in Use Case Diagrams.

The Business Domain Model focuses on Classes, Associations, and Multiplicities to describe the structure and relationships within the business domain.

In an Agile environment, the role of the Business Analyst (BA) includes working closely with the development team and business stakeholders to clarify and prioritize requirements. One of the critical tasks during this process is to estimate the effort required to deliver each requirement. This estimation is essential for planning the iterations or sprints in Agile development. The BA collaborates with other team members to assess the complexity and effort involved, ensuring that the team can commit to achievable goals within each timeboxed iteration. This role does not typically include approving changes, version control, or identifying all requirements at the outset, which are handled by other roles or processes in Agile.
