The Better Business Analysis Institute presence, the Better
Business Analysis podcast with Kinsman Walsh.
Hi everybody. It's Ben from the Better
Business Analysis Institute and this is going to be your BA
bite. That is right.
I'm studying a 2 minute summary show for the next couple of
weeks where we are just going to go straight into two minutes
around the topic to get straight to the point.
And this week we're getting into myth busting business analysis.
OK, so we are going to talk about some common myths about
business analysis. And the number one myth that I
hear about all the time is that BAS are just glorified note
takers. This is completely wrong.
Well capturing requirements is important and documentation we
have a net for documentation is important around light
documentation and conciseness. And we're kind of experts in the
area. BAS wear many hats, OK?
We don't just take notes, we do analysis.
Our whole point is to define the why and the what and writing
things down is important. Publishing documentation is not
so important. We analyse needs, we bridge
communication gaps and we ensure that projects align with
business goals, right. That is our job as more of a
mapping and to provide clarity. Large documentation does not
provide clarity and the number 2 myth that I get asked a lot is
that B as only deal with IT and software development.
This is not true. We can be involved in any
project requiring business process improvement, from
marketing campaign to product launches to any industry we can
get involved in that. So they're two myths and I hope
you learned something from this BA bite.
I'll see you next week.
