Many organizations simply view business analysis as requirements development and management, however this view is vastly different from what is expressed in IIBA’s Business Analysis Body of Knowledge (BABOK).

The BABOK defines a Business Analyst as “Any person who performs business analysis activities, no matter what their job title or organizational role may be.”

The BABOK goes further and says that Business Analysts do not just have the title Business or System Analysts they may also be perform related roles such as Project Management, Developers, Quality Assurance and Interaction Design. This broad role of business analysis makes it appear more of a process than a role.

Business Analysis is about ensuring solutions deliver value to the business.

This includes tasks such as defining the problem, understanding stakeholder needs, defining requirements, building test cases, validating the right solution is being built, and measuring business value using KPIs.

In this webinar, John Parker (LinkedIn profile) will express how Business Analysis should be viewed as a collaborative team effort and not some narrow role of just serving as a note taker in interviews and writing requirements.

He will address the following topics:

  • What is Business Analysis?
  • Business Analysis is a Significant Risk for Most Organizations
  • How Do We Move Away from the Requirements Mentality
  • Business Analysis is a Team Sport
  • Are Business Analysis and Business Design the Same Thing?
  • Why Project Managers Should Care About Business Analysis?
  • Does QA really perform an BA Role?
  • Busting the Silos
