In 2013, Kupe Kupersmith wrote an article in the BA Times Business Analysis Is Dead, Long Live Business Analysis. He comes to the conclusion that “… it (business analysis) is dead as we knew it.” In another, more recent article in the Modern Analyst (Top 10 Trends in...
We created the BA-EXPERTS Business Analysis blog to offer traditional, state-of-the-practice, and evolving tips, techniques and insights. Our all-consuming goal is to improve your business analysis outcomes whether your IT group speaks Agile, Waterfall, or Iterative SDM. Our target audience is “the one wearing the Business Analysis hat”, whether you have the title “Business Analyst” or not.
Business Analysis Around the World
Our objective is to keep each of these business analysis “insight” messages short and to the point with information that you can use (or, in some cases, be amused). Our pledge to you is that the contents of the posts will be more than just our opinions. We will base the majority of our articles on the results of extensive research by one of the best content researchers in the business, Angela Hathaway (who can find anything on the web, so if you lost your keys or your wallet…).
Business Analysis Made Easy
In addition, we aim to keep you apprised of what is happening in the world of Business Analysis, System Analysis, Business System Analysis, Requirements Analysis and whatever else organizations decide to call this vital function. Our blog posts will help you in your never-ending search for truth, wisdom and the perfect requirement. (We suspect that finding truth and wisdom will be the easier quest, but we, like you, will never stop trying).
