From your recent projects, did you and your stakeholders get what you wanted and did it deliver the benefits promised? History shows that many projects fail to deliver. In our view, the three most common reasons for project failures are a lack of user involvement, incomplete specifications and changing requirements. The majority of issues arise from poor business analysis, with key aspects of successful analysis being:
- Probing and elicitation: Analysts are often viewed as "taking orders" and "solution makers" rather than probing and facilitating to get to the root-cause of the real problem.
- Customer-centric functional design: Technologists often take the lead in functional design without the objectivity or ‘customer-centric' focus of an analyst who looks ‘outside-in'.
- End-to-end view: Business analysts should be involved in direction setting, business engagement and throughout the delivery parts of project life-cycle to ensure the solution meets the need behind the requirement or what was specified.
Our expertise in business analysis sets up any project for success, and ensures that the customer and user experience is inherent throughout.
