Business Analysis Planning and Monitoring
Identify Business Analysis Performance Improvements
3.5.7 Stakeholders
• Domain Subject Matter Experts: should be informed about the business
analysis activities in order to set expectations regarding their involvement in the
work and to elicit their feedback regarding possible improvements to the
approach.
• Project Manager: is accountable for the success of a project and must be kept
informed of the current status of business analysis work. If potential problems
or opportunities for improvement are identified, the project manager must be
consulted before changes are implemented to assess whether those changes
will have an impact on the project. They may also deliver reports on business
analysis performance to the sponsor and other stakeholders.
3.5.8 Outputs
• Sponsor: may require reports on business analysis performance to address
problems as they are identified. A manager of business analysts may also
sponsor initiatives to improve the performance of business analysis activities.
• Business Analysis Performance Assessment: includes a comparison of
planned versus actual performance, identifying the root cause of variances from
the expected performance, proposed approaches to address issues, and other
findings to help understand the performance of business analysis processes.
