Business Analysis Training Company – Watermark Learning – Reveals the Biggest Challenges Facing Today’s Business Analysts
As business analysis continues to emerge as an important business building technique, business analysts are finding that one challenge stands in their way – business requirements analysis.
PRESS RELEASE
Minneapolis, MN, December 12, 2006 – Watermark Learning, a leading business analysis and project management training firm, is addressing the biggest challenge facing today’s business analysts.
Many companies today understand the benefit of growing the business analysis functions in their organization. While business analysis can add much value to organizations by increasing corporate efficiency and helping to launch new products and services, there are emerging challenges to be addressed.
“I believe the biggest challenge in projects today is defining requirements,” said Richard Larson, Co-Principal of Watermark Learning. “Business requirements analysis is a recurring challenge and getting requirements right is harder than ever.”
According to Larson, the main issues surrounding requirements definition are:
- Lack of time to gather and analyze requirements
- Clients provide solutions in the guise of requirements
- Finding necessary stakeholders and getting them to consensus once they are found
- Clients cannot articulate their requirements or provide incomplete requirements
- Changing and volatile requirements
“With the evolution of technology and global business, there are even more complications added to the requirements definition mix,” said Larson. “Cross cultural relations and geographically dispersed stakeholders all contribute to the challenge.”
Watermark Learning recognizes the importance of effective business requirements analysis and has focused on it since 1992, including featuring it through its business analysis training and certification program.
