Business Analysis for Project Managers looks at the project lifecycle as a whole, and identifies what business analysis processes and deliverables are important at what phases. Business analysis needs to be done on a project whether a BA is assigned or not. Very often people are doing business analysis without realizing that’s what they’re doing. If no BA is assigned to a project, then the Project Manager will need to ensure the work is being done by others, and if not, do it themselves. This presentation will summarize all the BA tasks that should be performed, and the deliverables that should be produced, so that the PM can ensure that structure is being brought to the business analysis process on their projects.
Christopher W. Brown is a Senior Business Analyst with Cornell Information Technologies. In this role, he partners with Project Managers to help define projects, elicit requirements, and oversee the design, development, implementation, and testing of IT systems. Chris graduated with a degree in Computing and Information Science from Potsdam College in 1986, and spent most of his career as a Programmer Analyst. When project management and business analysis became more structured disciplines unto themselves, he transitioned to the role of Business Analyst. He currently mentors other business analysts and facilitates the Business Analysis Special Interest Group at Cornell.
