"Filling the Blank Page"
- with -
Mark Jenkins
Scenario: You arrive at a meeting and, as you are being introduced as the business analyst (BA), the meeting leader relinquishes the lead to you for the purpose of gathering or documenting the requirements.
What you need to do to eliminate the Blank Page Syndrome (BPS)
-
Understand the need or goal of a project, so that connections to a solution, conflict guidance, and scope control are improved.
-
Understand the basic flow of how a process or system works, to have a context and framework within which to better understand, direct, and document a project.
-
Estimation of time is only accurate if you divide a project into small chunks of effort and then add them together
Combining these three points into a cohesive strategy and framework, the Business Analyst can add much more value to a project as well as see their career extend into the Enterprise Analysis arena.
