How should the BA handle the current organizational division of work

Image result for business analyst vs project manager



The BA can begin the process of defining, articulating, and communicating project success criteria as soon as he/she has a strong involvement in the requirements process and familiarity with the product and the project context. 

The attempt to define what kind of compensation between competing demands the stakeholders are willing to accept are much more important project success criteria than if the project should be delivered on time, and within budget and with complete specifications.

Some people argue that the definition of success criteria is the project manager role; however, BAs can carry out this task - because some have the experience and knowledge to develop this activity. 


Ideally, all stakeholder analysis should be carried out jointly between BA and PM. In fact, this is a more efficient and effective use for the success of the knowledge project that BA has already achieved.

The BA can play an important role by acting as an "deputy PM". Having BA take the lead role in defining success and stakeholder analysis will allow another group of stakeholders to participate focused on the project's decision-making processes. The relationship between PM and BA needs to be simplified as these activities contribute to the rationalization process and still help the project achieve its objectives.

    As to the partner examination, there is no contention that it serves the PM and measures the PM's capacity to manage partners; be that as it may, we should see the PM and the BA as one substance—from data sharing among them, through consistency in dealing with circumstances, to sharing the assignment of overseeing partner desires in such way that will profit both the PM, the BA, and the venture in general.

The Brown Cow Model

This model of work has four views of work which are What, Now, How and Future. The two horizontal and the vertical axes separate What from How, and Now from the Future. The Brown Cow Model illustrates four points of view that help to uncover the real business problem and identify useful innovations. The four quadrants which are - What-Now, What-Future, How-Now, and How-Future show the different viewpoints of work. Generally, it is not sufficient to have only two views of business - the "as is" and the "to be". To get a true light on the business problem and to ensure innovations, more views are necessary. Aziz

The Brown Cow Model in Agile

There are reports stating, “agile does not help in innovation”. As there is a pressure to develop anything, they can produce within the time allowed. The greatest pressure is for maintaining the speed of the project, not for its innovative solutions. When we talk about innovation it means new thinking. We do not mean that innovation is invention. Innovation is different thinking about the business problem with the intention of finding beneficial solutions. User stories that are not based on real business stories will always have a hard time being innovative. Without some innovative thinking, it is very easy to propose only that you increment something and let it go through it. When a BA investigates a business history, this professional needs to be purposely trying to encourage innovation. The Brown Cow Model illustrates the ability to analyze the same business history from several different points of view. From there, innovations are discovered t...

Rabbit, Horse and Elephant approaches

Rabbit —small,  fast , and  brief -lived. Rabbit  tasks  are  generally  smaller  initiatives  with shorter lifetimes,  where   near  stakeholder participation is  possible .
