Module 1: Introduction and Overview of Business Analysis
1.1 What are “Business Processes?” and “What is a “Business Process Analysis?”
1.2 What are the roles and responsibilities of a “Business Process Analyst”?
1.3 What are the credible industry-wide certification options for a business analyst?
1.4 What are some of the “business processes” in our organization?
1.5 What the current business processes in our organization that appear to have “gaps” (e.g., out-of-control processes) or low process performance?
1.6 What current business processes in our organization need improvement to achieve better outcomes (e.g., ROI) for our organization?
Module 2: Business Analysis Planning and Monitoring [Initiate Phase]
2.1 Assess the effectiveness of current business processes and operational processes to determine “gaps,” “out-of-control, ”need for improvement,” etc.
2.2 Evaluate and prioritize potential incremental improvements (in business processes, etc.)
2.3 Apply the relevant information (e.g., metrics-driven) elicited in the fact gathering process to create and analyze process models (Voice of the Business)
2.4 Identify and actively engage key stakeholders (seeking the Voice of the Customer [VOC]). Determine the perceptions and views of stakeholders
2.5 Initiate a business process analysis effort with clear objectives and an agreed-upon goals
2.6 Decompose complex processes into lower level tasks and sub-processes using a decomposition model and diagram
2.7 Complete estimates for: costs and deliver a realistic budget
2.8 time commitments and deliver a practical schedule
2.9 process improvement scope and deliver a scope model
of realistic requirements
Module 3: Elicitation and Collaboration [Scope and Design Phase]
3.1 Develop a Stakeholder Requirements Matrix based upon the deliberate steps of stakeholder identification, analysis, and buy-in commitment
3.2 Build a strategy for active involvement/participation of stakeholders in assessing, improving, and sustaining business processes improvement
3.3 Using elicitation techniques, acquire business process improvement requirements from stakeholders (Voice of the Customer) through:
Group-based collaboration: Brainstorming, Focus Groups, Requirements Workshops, collaborative games
3.4 Individual elicitation: Interviews, Observation, Survey/Questionnaire
3.5 Research: Document Analysis, Interface Analysis, Benchmarking, Prototyping, and Market Analysis
3.6 Identify and document business process(es) scope while alleviating scope creep
3.7 Discover how to clarify and validate the current state (i.e., “status quo”) of the business process before jumping to possible “future state” solutions

10-step business improvement process
