Is Business Analysis the Cornerstone of Successful Projects?

A major source of project failure is incomplete, inaccurate, and misunderstood requirements.

In a nutshell, if you don’t identify the “right” requirements for a project, problems will be magnified at every other step of the process.

The bottom line is that nailing down requirements for your initiatives is a high-stakes activity, even more so during a recession where every penny counts.

Faced with conflicting requests from customers, users, partners, competitors, and regulators; the role of the business analyst to define and prioritize requirements, foresee related impacts, and create actionable plans is critical.

In this Webcast, you’ll find out about the due diligence needed to keep projects on track using the tools of business analysis.

Whether you’re an experienced project manager or are just starting out, this program will help fine tune your understanding the basics of requirements management.

Learn:

• Leading causes of project failure and what you can do to minimize the risks
• How business analysis is the key to trimming project costs
• Ways to turn unrealistic expectations into realistic features
• Using BABOK to improve your requirements development
• How business analysis differs from project management
• And much more.

In this Introduction to Business Analysis demo session, you will learn the fundamentals of business analysis discipline, role of a business analyst, how our training program is structured and most importantly how Requirements Wizard can help you transform your career into a successful business analyst role.

In today’s competitive environment, business analyst’s role is no longer of simply ‘A bridge between Business and IT’. T

here has been a paradigm shift in the role of business analyst in recent years.

In today’s resource scare environment, customers expect business analyst to have knowledge and skills to conduct enterprise analysis, perform end-to-end business processes re-engineering, identify bottlenecks in their value streams, and most importantly develop solutions that would solve their problems and integrate their vision-strategy-technology towards a common organizational goal.

Requirements elicitation and documenting them is a very small subset of a modern day business analyst’s role.

This course has been specifically designed keeping in mind the expectations customers have from a seasoned business analyst.

In addition to the business analysis skills, project management skills are equally vital for a business analyst. Since the natural career trajectory of a business analyst curve towards project management discipline, this course has included key topics of project management as well, which in a ‘real-world’ scenario, any experienced business analyst must be familiar with.

Note: This session is designed for any individual with IT/Non-IT background who aspires to make their career in business analysis discipline.

Presenter:  Chetan V Mehta (LinkedIn profile) PMP CBAP BPM Principal Instructor RequirementsWizard, is a former analyst from Indian Institute of Management (IIM-Ahmedabad), Asia’s ivy-league business school, is a highly experienced professional in the field of business architecture, business analysis, project management and business development discipline.

He succeeds at building a solid core competency in his selected disciplines.

1. Organizations change.
2. They must change (or they disappear).
3. Amidst change, they then struggle to ensure that the different changes they implement are really creating value.

Often, change is perceived like a goal in itself, organizations implement change for the sake of changing and are stuck within a continuous changing loop, accumulating layers of permanent change which appear to be counter-productive, demotivating and dreadful for the organization itself.

In this session Olivier Lazar (LinkedIn profile) will explore how to determine if a change has to occur, and how to ensure it delivers value. Through stability, when the change is not a change anymore.

In the Project Management world, and in the framework defined by PMI® with the PMBOK Guide®, the Program Management Standard and the Portfolio Management Standard, our organizations create the conditions for change (Portfolio Management), assemble the triggers for change (Project Management) and finally deliver the change itself (Program Management) by developing new capabilities.

By developing this continuous processes, some might think that change is an ongoing iterative process, that evolution is a never ending flow of emerging changes.

Actually, it’s not. If the flow of change is continuous in the organization, it doesn’t have the time to absorb the change and realize the expected benefits.
