A career is a calling that God demands of every human being. According to the Bible, the first commandment that God gave man was to “work” and every other creation in the man’s life is centered around this calling called “work” (including a help-meet). This “work” calling operates in cycle of phases (temporary endeavors) called projects. The planning of every project begins with Requirement Definition to properly map structures to meet the unique goal of the project.
In a corporate project, there are always two perspectives to requirement definition that hardly concur – the Functional perspective versus the Technical perspective. The Business Analyst acts as a liaison between the two perspectives to ensure a smooth running of the project. By definition, Business Analysis is the set of task and techniques used to work as a liaison between stakeholders (technical and non-technical) in order to understand the structures, policies and operations of an organization, and recommend solutions that enable the organization to achieve its goal.
According to biannual benchmark CHAOS Report from Standish Group, the following was documented on corporate projects:
– 34% are successful (On time, on budget, meet all features and functions)
– 51% are challenged (82% average time overruns, 43% average cost overruns, 52% functions and features actually implemented)
– 15% are failed (Projects canceled before completion – no deliverables)
Improvement in Requirement Definition (Role of the Business Analyst), which is the foundation of all project scope, will definitely have a positive impact on the overall project success.
