Modern Analyst has revamped our blogs to provide greater value to you! Two new blog pages have been created. Follow the links below to access the new blog pages or access them directly via our top navigation menu.
Our Community Blog puts a different spin on our original blog page. Instead of each community member creating a separate blog, all community members have the opportunity to contribute their very own blog posts to a single community blog. This provides greater benefit to both the bloggers and readers. Some of these benefits are:
- Viewers can RSS the Community Blog by a specific blog post author
- Many members contributing to a single blog attracts more viewers, increasing the readership for all bloggers
- Blog contributors can give more time and attention to each blog post since no single blogger has to provide continuous content to keep the blog fresh
- The Community Blog gives bloggers the opportunity to make a name and brand for themselves in the business analysis profession
- Community Blog contributors may be extended an invitation to become a blogger for the Modern Analyst blog
Our Modern Analyst Blog features blog posts from pre-selected Modern Analyst bloggers, many of which are influential contributors that are shaping the business analysis profession. In addition, the most intersting and insightful Community Blog posts are selected by the Modern Analyst team to be added to the Modern Analyst Blog.
While our original blogs and blog posts will remain available for viewing, community members will only be able to contribute new blog posts to the Community Blog. The Community Blog and Modern Analyst Blog have been seeded with blog posts from the original blog page.

“A recently launched website aims to define a simple lightweight project delivery framework designed to combat the phenomena of PINO (Prince2 in Name Only). The new site is the brainchild of Dr. Peter Merrick and it is a synthesis of Prince2, RUP and waterfall. The main points of this new framework is it explicitly recognises the needs of all management stakeholders, it defines artifacts that are easy to understand, yet based on UML so they can be transformed into solutions, and it comes with downloads of worked examples. www.princelite.co.uk"
About Peter:
He hold a PhD from UEA in Software Engineering. I'm a UML use case expert. A paper on this subject was published last week in www.requirementsnetwork.com. This work is the subject of a paper to be delivered in Barcelona at a conference of peers in software engineering. He has worked for the Health and Safety Executive, HMRC, Great Hotel, University of Cambridge Examinations Syndicate and the European Patent Office. He currently holds a senior contract position with central government.
His motivation
"It upsets me greatly the amount of money wasted in software that never delivers. I don’t buy the excuses that are routinely bandied about for this, which normally boils down to the supplier blaming the customer for changing the requirements. This is rubbish. Suppliers are giving customers the run around. Customers have some blame to shoulder for delegating responsibility on the grounds that IT is ‘too difficult’.
Yes, databases and OO modelling is a specialist subject, but anybody can understand use case models, activity models and screen mockups. That’s all the business people need to understand."
UML takes care of the rest, because we know how to transform these ‘business oriented artifacts’ into code! The other great thing about this method is the user acceptance tests are described upfront. Progress can be measured. Success is defined. Come on customers; stop letting the tail wag the dog. Look into PrinceLite – it really is Prince in name only – and that’s a good thing."

Re: Prince Lite has a focus on requirements management
This is just one of many such initiatives and they all , in my view are just rivals to Prince, young pretenders.
I have used Prince for years and I see exactly what Peer sees, a lot of people making a new industry for themselves out of redefining a problem rather than finding a solution.
I disagree entirely that the issues with software failures is down to suppliers running customers ragged. Few organisations are lucid enough in my view to make a decision and then see through the cultural changes required to realise the benefits. It is natural that the requirements will be used as a bit of a battleground where opposing factions can disagree and the project can fail to deliver on something or other that will remain undefined.
The law has been around longer than we know and only with armies of lawyers can we define simple business contracts and make them stick. The BA is in a fledgling industry with a much more complex language and in the firing lie for everyone's anxt.
Princelite is probably better than Prince 2, but unlikely tof ix anything in my humble opinion.
