The Business Analysis Planning and Monitoring Knowledge Area defines the tasks associated with the planning and monitoring of business analysis activities throughout the requirements process. The Business Analyst (BA) helps to identify stakeholders, helps define roles and responsibilities, develops estimates for business analysis tasks, plans requirements communications, plans how requirements will be approached, traced, and prioritized, determines what requirements process will be used, and determines the metrics that will be used for monitoring the business analysis work. In addition, this Knowledge Area provides for monitoring and reporting on work performed to ensure that requirements work produces the expected outcomes. If not, the business analyst must take corrective action to meet stakeholder requirements and expectations.
These business analysis activities are typically closely related to the project management activities, making it essential for the business analyst to work closely with the project manager (PM). Project Management Institute’s A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge® (PMBOK®) outlines many tools and techniques that can be used by the business analyst. Examples include tools and techniques for estimating activities, planning communication, and developing quality metrics. Use of these tools and techniques will help ensure alignment between the requirements plan and the overall Project Management Plan.
Because the project manager and the rest of the project team rely on the business analyst (BA) to provide clearly defined requirements deliverables for the project, the BA needs to assist the PM in planning and monitoring the tasks associated with the business analysis effort. To that end, the business analyst considers the many facets of requirements planning and ensures that the right amount is done. Working closely with the project manager, as well as other stakeholders, the business analyst recommends an approach and the associated deliverables appropriate for the project.
The following are the tasks or the sub activities to be considered:
- Plan business analysis approach
- Conduct stakeholder analysis
- Plan business analysis activities
- Plan business analysis communication
- Plan requirements management process
- Plan, monitor, and report on business analysis performance
