The Business Analysis Maturity Model
As organizations turn their attention to maturing their business analysts’ skills it is important to develop a longer-term vision that lays out a roadmap towards increased business analysis capabilities that directly impact the business’s bottom-line.
The Business Analysis Maturity Model (“BAMM”) provides a roadmap as well as guideposts along the way for capabilities to target at each level. Upward progression through the levels of the maturity model correlate directly to an organization’s business responsiveness/agility and reduced rework which, in turn, results in lower costs for business operations and managing business and software change.
Conventional Wisdom Begets Conventional Results
The conventional artifact-centric requirements training in today’s marketplace doesn’t sufficiently address the need for business analysts to retain ownership of the business concepts once they are implemented in an automation solution. Conventional thinking doesn’t address the need for BAs to continue to be able to directly specify and maintain business processes, business rules and the underlying business terms that these depend upon. Conventional wisdom holds that, as business specifications move to the design function, IT processes transform the BA’s work into a product that, if all goes well, delivers the outcome that the business desires. But this approach does nothing to preserve a business’s ability to understand the business behavior internal to the delivered solution. This loss of fidelity to what the BA specified is the key barrier to the ability of organizations to innovate rapidly.
Moving Business Analysts Beyond Conventional Requirements Analysis
