Complete Your Projects On-Time & On-Schedule

Only 2.5% of companies successfully completed all of their projects.*
One in six projects have a cost overrun of 200% and a schedule overrun of almost 70%.*

There is a staggering percentage of technology projects that either fail, or are unsuccessful in delivering the expected value to the business. While there are many different inputs and reasons for this, one common thread appears to be present in varying degrees. The use and role of the BA.

Once a respected and valued piece of an IT project, the role of the Business Analyst has been relegated to a narrowly focused, task-oriented regimentation that seems to include no more than a production of required documentation.

PW&WCBA brings together both sides of the project team, project management and business analysis, to advance collaboration within your organization. Hear Janet Santacroce, former Senior Business Systems Analyst SAP from The Coca Cola Company share how to bring the business analyst back into the project and structure a business environment to facilitate the role of business conduit.
