What is Web Project Business Analysis?

Being assigned to a new project is an exciting time as a business analyst, but it can also be nerve-wracking. You might be wondering what exactly is expected of you, what deliverables you should be creating, and how to guarantee success on your project. Depending on the size and complexity of project, you can go through various steps quickly or slowly which will get to success of your project.

There are eight step of business analysis process that you can apply whether you are in an agile environment or a traditional one:

• Get Oriented: As a business analyst, expected to dive in to a project and start contributing as quickly as possible to make a positive impact. Sometimes the project is already underway. Other times there are vague notions about what the project is or why it exists. We face a lot of ambiguity as business analysts and it’s our job to clarify the scope, requirements, and business objectives as quickly as possible.
• Discover the Primary Business Objectives: It’s very common for business analysts and project managers to jump right in to defining the scope of the project. However, this can lead to unnecessary headaches. Uncovering and getting agreement on the business needs early in a project and before scope is defined is the quickest path forward to a successful project. Ensuring the business objectives are clear and actionable to provide the project team with momentum and context while defining scope and, later on, the detailed requirements.
• Define Scope: A clear and complete statement of scope provides your project team the go-forward concept to realize the business needs. Scope makes the business needs tangible in such a way that multiple project team participants can envision their contribution to the project and the implementation. Scope is not an implementation plan, but it is a touchstone guiding all of the subsequent steps of the business analysis process and tasks by other project participants.
• Formulate Your Business Analysis Plan: Your business analysis plan will bring clarity to the business analysis process that will be used to successfully define the detailed requirements for this project. Your business analysis plan is going to answer many questions for you and your project team. Identifying the timelines for completing the business analysis deliverables.
• Define the Detailed Requirements: Detailed requirements provide your implementation team with the information they need to implement the solution. They make scope implementable. Without clear, concise, and actionable detailed requirements, implementation teams often flounder and fail to connect the dots in such a way that delivers on the original business case for the project. Reviewing and validating each deliverable with appropriate business and technology stakeholders and asking questions to fill in any gaps. Paying attention to the project’s critical path, reducing ambiguity and complexity, and generating quick wins are all factors to consider when sequencing your deliverables.
• Support the Technical Implementation: On a typical project employing a business analyst, a significant part of the solution involves a technical implementation team building, customizing, and/or deploying software. During the technical implementation, there are many worthwhile support tasks for you to engage in that will help drive the success of the project and ensure the business objectives are met.
• Help the Business Implement the Solution: Technology team can deliver a beautiful shiny new solution that theoretically meets the business objectives, but if your business users don’t use it as intended and go back to business-as-usual, your project won’t have delivered on the original objectives. Business analysts are increasingly getting involved in this final phase of the project to support the business. This step is all about ensuring all members of the business community are prepared to embrace the changes that have been specified as part of the project.
• Assess Value Created by the Solution: Evaluating the actual progress made against the business objectives for the project to show the extent to which the original objectives have been fulfilled. Communicating the results to the project sponsor, and if appropriate, to the project team and all members of the organization. Suggesting follow-up projects and initiatives to fully realize the intended business objectives of the project or to solve new problems that are discovered while evaluating the impact of this project.

After completing these steps, it’s likely you’ll uncover more opportunities to improve the business which will lead you to additional projects. And so the cycle begins again!
