» Handling Requirements Effectively on Agile Projects
Article Rating (2213 Views) (0 Comments)
Why has it been necessary to write so many different, book-length treatises about requirements management on software projects? Is it not possible to develop an approach to handling software requirements that is simple enough to express concisely -- and yet can work with large, complex projects as well as smaller efforts? At the risk of using a...

» A Wiki for Business Rules in Open Vocabulary, Executable English
Article Rating (1219 Views) (0 Comments)
The problem of business-IT alignment is of widespread economic concern. As one way of addressing the problem, this paper describes an online system that functions as a kind of Wiki -- one that supports the collaborative writing and running of business and scientific applications, as rules in open vocabulary, executable English, using a browser. ...

» What Makes a Good Business Analyst?
Article Rating (4354 Views) (1 Comments)
Good business solutions begin with good business analysis. But what's needed to excel as a business analyst and to get projects started on a good footing? Much has been (and will continue to be) said about the set of skills that go to making a good business analyst. Forrester Research, for example, has published a spreadsheet (called the Busine...

» FEATURED: Lessons Learnt, A Year in Review
Article Rating (3593 Views) (2 Comments)
It has been just over a year since I published my book, and that makes it easier for me to measure what has happened since then. I have spent this year visiting many companies and discussing their business analysis function. In some cases, I have performed an assessment on the business analysts as well as the business analysis function within many...

» FEATURED: Putting the User Back in User Acceptance Testing
Article Rating (3525 Views) (2 Comments)
Why is it so challenging to get users involved in User Acceptance Testing (UAT)? Isn’t it called UAT because the users are the main participants? My experience has shown that involving users in all phases of the project, especially UAT, is the best way to ensure project success. This article will present a proven approach to increasing user involve...

» FEATURED: Lessons Learned: Share Them!
Article Rating (1457 Views) (0 Comments)
Here we are, the end of another year, and the question I ask always is, what have we learned? If we are not learning something, be it from a success or a failure, or something in-between, then how can we move forward? Information security is something that needs to continuously improve and refine itself, otherwise it will fall behind the curve...

» What is a Business Analyst?
Article Rating (4088 Views) (2 Comments)
Today the term Business Analyst is synonymous with a career in the IT industry but the most successful and valuable analysts are those who understand the 'business' rather than those who understand IT. So what exactly is a Business Analyst? What is the Business Analyst’s role? What is the best background for this job? What skill set is required? Wh...

» Manager's Guide to User Acceptance Testing
Article Rating (976 Views) (0 Comments)
For most businesses and organisations, if IT stops, the business stops. Whenever a company turns on a new production line, opens a new retail store, launches a new product or provides a new service, there is invariably a new or modified IT system behind it. Going live is the culmination of time, effort, resources and finance. A problem-free IT syst...

» UML - Business Context
Article Rating (4903 Views) (1 Comments)
“Where does UML fit?” is a common question among new (and not so new!) business analysts. We all know that the M stands for modelling but beyond this, perceptions start to differ. In its current form (V2.0) UML consists of 13 diagram types all of which provide a different view of a system. In this article we’ll take a brief look at which of the...
