Modern businesses require effective business analysis in
order to be successful in a competitive world. Business analysis involves
taking information gathered from a variety of sources and analyzing to forecast
future trends, find ways to make improvements in business strategies, improve
businesses operations, and make smart business decisions to improve the bottom
line. Understanding key marketing areas is essential to helping a business
generate revenue and cut down on excess waste.
According to Nancy Nee, vice president of Global Product
Strategy, ESI International, there are some key
business analysis trends that will be prominent in 2013.
At its core, Agile is all about requirements from the
perspective of user stories, according to Yee. In 2013 if organizations are
going to embrace Agile, they need to focus on the keystone to success of Agile,
which is business analysis.
If they don’t have a current business analyst role, they
will at least embrace the function of business analysis because at the end of
the day Agile success is all about requirements and that is what BAs do because
they are able to define user stories and be able to deliver value which is what
Agile is about.
