Business Analysts, or those performing this role, have created Business Requirements Documents (BRDs) for many years. This was often done in the early stages of a project, documenting very detailed requirements that were often considered “frozen” because of the complexities and effort to produce them. The Agile world has turned the role of the business analyst upside down.
Stakeholders are a key to any project, and understanding our stakeholders, their wants and their needs is essential for any successful project. In this session we are going to look at some diverse ways to analyze our stakeholders. We will look at journey maps and empathy maps to help us understand how we can build and use them as part of stakeholder analysis.
Most stakeholders are wonderful at telling us what they want! Many stakeholders are terrible at telling us what they need; they simply can’t differentiate. Absolutely, the worst solution is to engage a business analyst who diligently documents what the business says, operating as an order taker. What we really need are curious analysts.
Effective communication can make or break a project. As you interact with your stakeholders, clients, project teams, management, and vendors over the course of a project, communication skills are crucial for the successful operation of a Business Analysis workstream.
