This presentation reviews how requirement prioritization is a decision process used to determine the relative importance of requirements. The importance of requirements may be based on their relative value, risk, difficulty of implementation, or on other criteria. These priorities are used to determine which requirements should be targets for further analysis and to determine which requirements should be implemented first. We shall discuss the inputs, techniques used, and the expected outcome.
Prioritization of requirements ensures that analysis and implementation efforts focus on the most critical requirements

RPA (Robotic Process Automation), POA (Process Oriented Architecture) And BPM...Alan McSweeney
RPA (Robotic Process Automation) is an opportunity to add value by creating (partially of completely) automated meta processes that control one or more existing applications to automate the interactions with those applications and thus enable the successful operation of the process.
RPA can reduce manual effort, reduce manuals errors, improve quality, accuracy and ensure consistency. RPA based processes are always available, can respond to changes more quickly and are more scalable that manual processes. They captures process information for reporting, analysis and process improvement and provide greater visibility and control.
Successful RPA is a pre-requisite to exploiting other technologies and approaches such as artificial intelligence.
POA (Process Oriented Architecture) is concerned with linking process areas to actual (desired) interactions – customer (external interacting party) service journeys through the organisation.
BPM (Business Process Management) is the disciplined approach to identify, design, execute, document, measure, monitor and control both automated and non-automated business processes to achieve consistent, targeted results aligned with an organisation’s strategic goals.
Increasing velocity of change means that informal, undocumented expertise makes reaction slow, exceptions are only known and understood locally – process architecture ensures knowledge is documented and change can happen quickly.
A change to digital operations means that internal processes are exposed – the potentially inefficient and manual processes must be made efficient and external interactions must be masked from the internal complexity.
Moving the organisation from one that is internally focussed around its siloed structures to one that is focussed on customer (external interacting party) straight-through interactions.
Automating existing processes requires a structured approach to process analysis.
A structured approach to designing new optimised processes is important to successful RPA implementation.
The presentation is design to provide answer to the very basic question "What is Business Analysis?", it is designed to guide the professionals who want to enter into BA profession or have started working as BA's.

Until recently, ISO 9001 only explicitly required an organisation to keep records of the criteria for selecting, evaluating and re-evaluating suppliers. The latest revision to ISO 9001:2015 now requires an organisation to not only record the criteria, but to also record the result of these activities, including performance monitoring.
The shift towards greater emphasis on supplier performance monitoring may require your organisation to review supplier management processes.

Gathering And Documenting Your Bi Business RequirementsWynyard Group
Business requirements are critical to any project. Recent studies show that 70% of organisations fail to gather business requirements well. What is worse is that poor requirements can lead a project to over spend its original budget by 95%.
Business Intelligence and Performance Management projects are no different. This session will provide a series of tips, techniques and ideas on how you can discover, analyse, understand and document your business requirements for your BI and PM projects. This session will also touch on specific issues, hurdles and obstacle that occur for a typical BI or PM project
• The importance of business requirements and a well defined business requirements process
• Understanding the difference between a “wish-list” or vision and business requirements
• The need and benefits of having a business traceability matrix
Start your BI projects on the right foot – understand your requirements
Microsoft Data Warehouse Business Intelligence Lifecycle - The Kimball ApproachMark Ginnebaugh
Data Warehouse - Business Intelligence Lifecycle Overview by Warren Thronthwaite
This slide deck describes the Kimball approach from the best-selling Data Warehouse Toolkit, 2nd Edition. It was presented to the Bay Area Microsoft Business Intelligence User Group in October 2012.
Starting with business requirements and project definition, the lifecycle branches out into three tracks: Technical, Data and Applications. You will learn:
* The major steps in the Lifecycle and what needs to happen in each one.
* Why business requirements are so important and how they influence all major decisions across the entire DW/BI system.
* Key tools for prioritizing business requirements and creating an enterprise information framework.
* How to break up a DW/BI system into doable increments that add real business value and can be completed in a reasonable time frame.
The Dollars Are in the Details: Measuring the Cost of Requirements Business requirements are a fundamental component in project management because it forms the basis of project and product scope. Development and management of requirements also impact the overall financial success of a project because each requirement comes at a cost. Requirements management and development (RMD) offers an approach for enhanced traceability, visibility and verifiability that can help you avoid unnecessary project costs. This presentation will explain how RMD can increase the quantifiable probability of providing the desired deliverables and expectations to meet overall organization goals and objectives, improve goods and services, enhance governance compliance, develop better aligned and prioritized requirements, and match the right resources with the right competencies.
Terry Pritchard from Blueprint Software will present the results of a survey of 300+ business analysts involved in Agile projects, and demonstrate how Blueprint’s product – Requirements Center – is being used to tackle some of the challenges that Agile projects pose for requirements definition.
What’s in Your BA Toolkit?Are you frustrated with the tools, or lack of tools, in your Business Analysis Toolkit? Are your current tools hindering your productivity? Learn about what to look for in your toolkit and how to choose the tools that meet your needs.
This session will be a combination of presentation and demonstration where we will discuss the role of the Business Analyst in Business Process Modeling and the importance of modeling. A demonstration of how modeling tools can assist a BA in their work will be delivered and will include:
- documenting current or future processes
- determining how processes can be optimized and improved using simulation metrics
- using forms in process design and storyboarding
- publishing models to a larger community for feedback.
- how process models can be transformed into the language of IT (UML, BPEL, etc).
We will also demonstrate BPM BlueWorks, which is an online platform for business analysts! It can help accelerate business process improvement at NO COST. Features include dozens of industry-specific strategy, capability and process maps. Private online tools and workspaces to build new business processes and capability to share online workspaces with your colleagues. Check out http://www.bpmblueworks.com
Enterprise Analysis is a series of tasks that analyzes the business situation to fully understand the problems and opportunities. Enterprise analysis outputs provide context to requirements analysis and to solution identification for a given initiative or for long-term planning. Enterprise analysis is often the starting point for initiating a new project and is continued as changes occur and more information becomes available. It is through enterprise analysis activities that business requirements are identified and documented.
Every organization has business rules and every IT system within the organization as to comply with at least some of those rules. It is up to the Business Analyst to discover those rules, elicit the details, and document and verify them with Subject Matter Experts. Even though they may have been approved, the Business Analyst can't always be sure that the business rules are right until they have been tested with real data. Through a series of short exercises, we will explore how to manage different types of business rules.

In the Adani-Hindenburg case, what is SEBI investigating.pptxAdani case
Adani SEBI investigation revealed that the latter had sought information from five foreign jurisdictions concerning the holdings of the firm’s foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) in relation to the alleged violations of the MPS Regulations. Nevertheless, the economic interest of the twelve FPIs based in tax haven jurisdictions still needs to be determined. The Adani Group firms classed these FPIs as public shareholders. According to Hindenburg, FPIs were used to get around regulatory standards.
Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).

The definition of the business need is frequently the most critical step in any business analysis effort. Can you explain why?Give an example of what has happened in your world when the business need was not clearly identified and defined.Purpose - To create a set of views of the requirements for the new business solution that are comprehensive, complete, consistent, and understood from all stakeholder perspectives Two Objectives - To understand which models are appropriate for the business domain and solution scopeIdentify model interrelationships and dependencies
Can you explain what the desired outcome should do, if it isn’t a solution ? (page 84)In reality, desired outcomes should address a problem or opportunity, and support the business goals and objectives. Proposed solutions must be evaluated against desired outcomes to ensure they can deliver those outcomes.The business analyst determines which types of models will be required to describe the solution scope and meet the informational needs of stakeholders.

The business analyst tailors the approach to meet the needs of key stakeholder groups, and must determine which models will be useful to each.Project ManagerUses the organized set of requirements to verify the scope of the solution and assess the work that needs to be done in the project.
The deliverable is a statement of the business need. Requirements Structure: The output of this task is an organized structure for the requirements and a documented set of relationships between them. This structure is distinct from tracing and is used so that the analyst and stakeholders know where a specific requirement should be found

What is the definition of a goal? Section 5.1.4 of the BABOK®defines them as longer term, ongoing, and qualitative statements of a state or condition that the organization is seeking to establish and maintain. Goals and objectives can relate to changes that the organization wants to accomplish, or current conditions that it wants to maintain. High-level goals can be decomposed to break down the general strategy into distinct focus areas that may lead to desired results, such as increased customer satisfaction, operational excellence and/or business growth. How can goals eventually be linked to specific measures? (page 83) As goals are analyzed, they are converted into more descriptive, granular, and SPECIFIC (remember the S in SMART!) objectives, and linked to measures that make it possible to objectively assess if the objective has been achieved. .1 Basis for PrioritizationRequirements may be prioritized using a number of different criteria:Business ValueBusiness or Technical RiskImplementation DifficultyLikelihood of SuccessRegulatory or Policy ComplianceRelationship to Other RequirementsStakeholder AgreementUrgency

Unrealistic Tradeoffs - The solution development team may intentionally or unintentionally try to influence the result of the prioritization process by overestimating the difficulty or complexity of implementing certain requirements.

The deliverable is a statement of the business need. Requirements [Prioritized]: A prioritized requirement has an attribute that describes its relative importance to stakeholders and the organization. At the completion of this task, each requirement should have an assigned priority. The priorities may apply to a requirement or to a group or related requirements.
