Presentation synopsis

Business Analysis knowledge for project managers? Absolutely! While the Business Analyst position is still rather new to many organizations, their primary role — to define and document user requirements and thereby help bridge the gap between the client and the solution team, has always been an essential ingredient for achieving project success. There are usually not enough dedicated Business Analysts to go around, therefore on small to medium size projects the role, if not the title, of business analysis often falls on the shoulders of the project manager, or other core team members. In fact, to help to enable project management success, business analysts must productively elicit and then communicate requirements in a way which the non-technical business stakeholders understand, yet give the development team all that they need to produce high-quality deliverables within scope, on time and within budget.

For larger projects, it is important that the project manager understand the value that a professional Business Analyst will bring to the project. It is also important that the Project Manager and Business Analyst roles are clearly defined in such cases.


Participants will learn:
• Highlight the interrelationship between PM, BA, and SME roles
• Introduce BA Knowledge Areas
• Understand how business analysis benefits a project
• Introduce core BA tools
• Recognizing and resolving conflicts between PM and BA

Audience
This presentation is ideally suited to project managers and business analysts. This workshop will focus on building a healthy and cooperative relationship between PM and BA for successful results.
