H E R E Q U I R E M E N T S for projects are often uncertain, and
careful analysis is critical for the success of the project. The
business analyst (BA) has emerged as a pivotal link in ensuring
the successful specification of requirements to deliver effective
business solutions and business process transformations. To be
successful, a business analyst has to have the right set of skills and
competencies; in addition, a standard methodology that includes
templates for deliverables, processes, and tools must be available to
guide the business analyst through the complexities and vagaries of
a project. A business analysis center of excellence (BACoE) provides
such a framework and is essential in increasing the maturity of an
organization and consequently in reducing the risk of projects.
