ecba-L1.1. Define Business Analysis

Business analysis is defined as “the practice of enabling change in an enterprise by defining needs and recommending solutions that deliver value to stakeholders within a given context”. This practice relies on foundational principles, concepts, and practices that support its functions. These elements drive the creation of frameworks, processes, techniques, tasks, and competencies. The fundamentals of business analysis remain consistent regardless of organizational structures, industries, or methodologies.

In questa definizione sono inclusi diversi concetti importanti che guidano le attività di business Analysis:

  • Change: The act of transformation in response to a need.
  • Need: A problem or opportunity to be addressed.
  • Solution: A specific way of satisfying one or more needs in a context.
  • Value: The worth, importance, or usefulness of something to a stakeholder within a context.
  • Stakeholder: A group or individual with a relationship to the change, the need, or the solution.
  • Context: The circumstances that influence, are influenced by, and provide an understanding of the change.
