The Business Informatics special interest group is the platform to share knowledge on business analysis, project and program management. We link practitioners, researchers and educators.

The group Business Informatics covers the topics of requirements engineering, systems modelling and documentation, agile and waterfall development approaches, project planning and control, effort estimation, strategic alignment and prioritisation. We also strive to seamlessly integrate the related fields of systems and software architecture, user experience design, software and data engineering, test engineering, IT operations, business operations, safety, security and quality management.
