Business Analysis is a Process

Business Analysis defines future information technology (IT) solutions — without definition, any solution must be acceptable.

What Moves Us?

Effective business analysis is crucial to continuous business success. Your organization’s future depends on how well you leverage the potential offered by changes in Information Technology (IT) even as the pace of change increases. New Lean and Agile philosophies offer better solutions to bridge the communications gap. Integrated IT development and operations (DevOps) continuously improve software to react to changing situations faster and more efficiently than ever before. The entire IT landscape is improving rapidly. Organizations like yours will embrace the change, step aside, or get run over. We chose to adapt.

Why We Teach Lean

The true purpose of business analysis is to define a future for your organization that will allow it to achieve business goals and objectives established by the organization’s leaders. Although often associated with IT (Information Technology), business analysis is a business process regardless which organizational unit performs it. However, IT is the primary driver of change in today’s environment and IT is rapidly adapting Lean and Agile Software Development methods. Anyone communicating with developers in this era should be comfortable expressing their needs in User Stories, Feature Maps, Scenarios, and Examples. Lean business analysis reduces waste in the requirements process. Lean requirements reduce waste in all down-stream activities from coding to testing to implementation to ongoing maintenance of delivered applications. Call us for more information.
