Project Problems Have Plagued Companies For Years

Many projects are:

• Over budget,
• Behind schedule, and
• Implemented with poor quality.

As companies struggle to figure out why, many have discovered a consistent trend: Projects struggle or fail because of poorly defined and misunderstood requirements.

As companies try to improve their project delivery processes, many are focusing on improving Requirements Engineering activities and adding more Business Analysts. With the number of Business Analysts increasing, so is the potential for inconsistency and poor requirements quality.

Companies might be faced with questions such as:

1. How can Requirements Engineering be streamlined and implemented consistently?
2. How will Business Analysts be coached, trained, and mentored?
3. How will Business Analysts know which process to follow and which templates to use?
4. How will executive management know that the increased focus on Requirements Engineering is having the positive effect on project delivery they were hoping for?

The answer to all of these questions is the same:

• The Business Analyst Center of Excellence.
