The Business Analyst provides a central role in
establishing a clear understanding of the areas under change within
the business. Business analysts contribute by analyzing the
business objectives, processes and resources and suggest these can
be addressed effectively through re-design, improvements and
refinements or through the creation of new solutions.
The successful Business Analyst will integrate
hard (e.g. business process modeling, working in Agile
environments) and soft (e.g. business knowledge, stakeholder
analysis and management) skills. Business Analysts are therefore
responsible for identifying change needs, assessing the impact of
the change, capturing and documenting requirements.
- Project Management Fundamentals
Much of what we undertake in modern business is about achieving
objectives on time, within cost and to an acceptable level of
quality. The most effective project managers have a thorough
understanding of how they deliver results on time whilst under
pressure from all sides.
The basics of this are the same whether the project manager is
managing his own activity or the tasks of others. A basic level of
project management skill is essential to anyone required to
complete complex tasks on time with limited resources.
