Road in Singapore Not about documentation / capturing requirements It is about the business
Process- not the people Roads in Brazil
Road in Japan…
The Autobahn in Germany
Roads in Paris. Version 1.0, in draft form, of the candidate handbook was released in November 2005 and contains the following requirements. Many of these are still being discussed and may change. Bullet 2 – PLUS experience in 3 out of 5 underlying fundamentals Bullet 3 – Currently, there is no reduction in work experience for post secondary education Bullet 4 – Required – must be from career manager, client or a CBAP Bullet 5 – required 21 hours in the last four years directly related to business analysis or the underlying fundamentals. CDUs will be able to be collected for conferences. 1) BA World, etc., does not fall under the "EEP" category. There is a separate category for conferences, etc. 2) Eventually (hopefully by the end of the year), conference providers (as well as other organizations such as IIBA Chapters) will be able to register their events with us, and receive a CDU code and allocated CDU value. They will then be able to advertise the number of CDUs that participants will receive.

What’s in it for me – at the local level? Networking is perhaps the most valuable benefit. By networking with other BAs you will learn what other people are doing, how they are overcoming challenges and even potential solutions to your challenges – there is comfort in numbers.

Speaker Notes: Although the percentage of successful projects has grown steadily, it still accounts for only 35% of all projects. That means the majority of continue to struggle. With the number of critical projects predicted to double each year, it is essential that the project manager and business analyst work together to be successful.

The following slides contain material for the topic: The Professional Business Analyst It is essential that the BA get requirements right. For the system architect, poor requirements result in: - Disconnect between what is built and what the business needs For the project manager, inadequate requirements lead to: - Poor estimates - Time and cost management becoming virtually impossible For the business, insufficient requirements result in: - Challenged/failed projects - Business needs not met - Strategies not executed
Key message: one size does not fit all and it will not ever
Australian Grand Prix – the “Starting Line”
Key message: many skills and competencies required of a BA. Breadth and depth will be dependent on your organization Competency knowledge, ability, or expertise in a specific subject area or skill set Skill Something that can be demonstrated; learned technique Roles Analyst / Problem Solver Facilitator Negotiator Artist / Architect Planner Communicator Diplomat Expert / Consultant Strategist Revolutionary
Key message: role will continue to develop and specialize along 3 axis IT market driving formalization of BA role Cost of failure very high Relatively new role – least mature – other industries / functions have been getting by without formalizing the role Other clearly defined roles within IT – PM, Dev, Tester, architect… Reason why BA BOK had an IT focus – huge need from IT industry Reason why BAs from IT becoming certified before BAs from other areas Rest of marketplace is specialist – e.g., product manager, process engineer, marketing, facilitator Current BOK, because limited focus, does not address the needs of hybrid role – one which combines knowledge from a variety of roles Future BOK will become more robust at the generalist level but also begin to develop / describe areas of specialization
Key message: challenge to leap from tactical to strategic
The BA manages business benefits by: Preparing project business case to invest in the most valuable projects Ensuring that the business case remains viable and continued investment in the project is still warranted during the project Measuring business benefits based on new solution - Actual benefits that are achieved vs. benefits promised in the business case
Need for BAs = f(maturity, size, diversity)
