According to Nancy Nee, vice president of Global Product
Strategy, ESI International, there are specific business
analysis (BA) trends that will be prominent in 2013. We have already
gone over nine of them in our previous posts. So, let’s now move to number
ten.
In 2013 we will see BAs learning that they have to communicate better, meaning that
communicating up and across is going to be a major focus of what BAs are going
to be targeting in 2013. BAs are the most aware of the requirements of the
value those requirements bring because they do a lot of impact analysis on
those requirements.
She added, “When they are working on a project they know if
they miss a requirement or if it changes, and how that will affect the
business. The problem is the ability to share that difficult message and have
that crucial conversation.”
In 2013 BAs will be focused on their ability to have those
communicating up conversations with their sponsors and stakeholders, laying it
out for them of what could happen when it comes to these requirements.
“By being able to put that in your bag of BA skills, you are
solidifying yourself as a key component to everything related from a business value
standpoint,” Yee concluded.
Business analysis is a big part of the upcoming conference , ProjectWorld & World Congress for Business
Analysts (PW&WCBA), which blends practical learning, skill
building, big picture thinking and leadership training together for a holistic
approach to developing managers into leaders.
