Step 1. Enterprise Analysis Overview Enterprise Analysis sets the stage for project and sales team selection by the business process model conducting pre-project activities, all guided by the Business Analyst. Maintaining Business Architecture Objective: To ensure a solid understanding of the current state of the business, including its structure, processes, and capabilities. Importance: Helps identify areas for improvement and sets the foundation for aligning projects with business goals. Preparing the Business Case Objective: Develop a comprehensive document that justifies the investment in a particular project. Importance: Provides a clear understanding of the project’s value, costs, benefits, and risks, aiding decision-making. Preparing for Decision Package Objective: Assemble a package of information and recommendations for decision-makers. Importance: Ensures decision-makers have the necessary insights to make informed choices regarding project initiation.
Step 2. Requirement Planning & Management Overview This step involves defining tasks and resources associated with planning and development and managing requirements. It ensures that activities align with the project and that the sales team’s specific needs and changes are captured consistently. Key Aspects Task Definition: Clearly outline the tasks involved in managing requirements. Resource Allocation: Determine the resources needed for effective requirement planning and management. Change Management: Establish processes for capturing, assessing, and implementing changes to requirements.
Step 3. Requirement Elicitation Overview Requirement elicitation involves researching and discovering the needs, functional requirements, and benefits of a system from various stakeholders, such as users, key stakeholders and customers. Process Stakeholder Engagement: Identify and engage with relevant stakeholders. Information Gathering Techniques: Employ various methods like interviews, surveys, and workshops to collect requirements. Documentation: Record and organize elicited requirements for analysis.
Step 4. Requirements Analysis & Documentation Overview This stage of the current process focuses on analyzing, structuring, and documenting stakeholder needs to guide the design, development and implementation of a solution for the next project. Key Activities Analysis Techniques: Use methods such as data modelling and process modelling to understand and structure requirements. Specification: Clearly define and document requirements to serve as a foundation for the solution.
Step 5. Requirements Communication Overview This phase involves expressing the output of the project and the requirement analysis. It includes packaging, evaluating, and approving each requirement before implementation. Communication Strategies Documentation Review: Ensure that all requirements are accurately captured and documented. Stakeholder Feedback: Gather feedback on requirements to refine and improve understanding. Approval Process: Establish a formal process for approving requirements before moving to the next phase.
Step 6. Solution Evaluation and Validation Overview This phase ensures that the implemented solution aligns with stakeholder objectives and meets the user interface predefined requirements of a new project. Timetracks’ Project Time Tracking Tool proves to be an invaluable asset in navigating this phase efficiently and effectively. Validation Steps Testing: Conduct thorough testing to validate that the solution functions as intended. Stakeholder Feedback: Gather feedback from stakeholders to assess their satisfaction with the solution. Objective Alignment: Verify that the implemented solution aligns with the initial business objectives and addresses identified needs.
