The Role of the BA in Creating a Common Vision
by Catherine Brunsting
Lack of predictability in getting a new product or service to market is one of the biggest threats a business can face. This problem is pervasive and many businesses are simply unaware there is a better, more predictable approach to deliver projects.
In her article Ms. Catherine Brunsting addresses how we can bring about predictability into what is delivered and when it is delivered, and how a strong Business Analyst can insure that this happens.

Predictability during requirements definition
While I agree that firming scope with the business sponsors is important, where I have seen projects slip on deadlines is getting the SMEs, the people actually doing the work, to agree upon business and system requirements. In other words management might have a clear picture of scope and vision, but the people on the ground lack that scope and vision and get bogged in the as-is. Are there any suggestions on how to speed the process of firming up requirements? We already use models to help clarify and gain consensus.
