So, what exactly is business analysis, anyway?

“Business analysis is the set of tasks and techniques used to work as a liaison among stakeholders in order to understand the structure, policies and operations of an organization, and recommend solutions that enable the organization to achieve it’s goals.” (A Guide to the Business Analysis Body of Knowledge (BABOK), p. 223.

Some immediate benefits of business analysis:

• Organizations will improve performance with increased likelihood of accomplishing the business strategy and more effective communication and collaboration among stakeholders
• Implementing a center of excellence (COE) leads to enhanced reuse of processes and lessons learned
• Organizations improve the chances for success by effective management of time, cost and scope and improved flexibility to respond to project complexity
