Project Vision: Modern Analyst Knowledge Appraiser

pmcleod — Sat, 01 Dec 2007 05:31:00 GMT

Lead Business Analyst:

The goal of the Modern Analyst Knowledge Appraiser (MAKA) project is to make freely available, as a gift to the business analyst community, under copyright to Modern Analyst Media LLC, a configurable Knowledge Appraisal and Assessment application that has been inspired by the business analysis profession but designed to be flexible enough to accommodate a wide variety of technical and leadership oriented core competencies.

This tool would be available to "use for free" for registered members of ModernAnalyst.com.

Our vision is also to make this a "live" project. That is, provide registered members of the ModernAnalyst.com community the opportunity to experience and see a project unfolding with all its challenges and rewards.

Community feedback is welcome and encouraged!

Adrian,

I have in writing some of the sections for the Appraiser tool business case and I wanted to get your feedback.

I will elude to the project scope within the Product Stakeholder Analysis section - where I will begin to state the needs that these people will have of the system.

Before I do that - I wanted to get your feedback on the Vision - it's poorly structured ... but I wanted to see if the jist is there.

Also the solution options.

Talk to ya soon

Perry

Lead BA: I see the Vision!

OK - I totally get you now. I was not thinking big enough. I remember you writing the expandable nature of it ... slipped my mind however.

I'm going to set back and write the vision/case ... post it for your evaluation. is ok?

Possible requirement .... I see the need for a DTD and a loader. The questions can be written in an excel file using a template that we design....saved as a CSV then loaded into the module ...now the tool can teest what ever you want it to test. There woulld also be a way for the admin to add questions using the interface.

The entity model .... I will Viso a high level model and include in into the business case.

WOW I am impressed.
